Claims that everywhere apart from the Eastern USA was warmer than ‘normal’ this winter turn out to be wide of the mark, in parts of Siberia at least.
The thermometer in a remote Siberian village known as the coldest inhabited place on earth has broken as temperatures plunged to near-record depths, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The public device, which was installed in Oymyakon as a tourist attraction, recorded -62C, before malfunctioning this week.
Meanwhile the Siberian Times reports that some locals had readings as low as -67C – in touching distance of the record -67.7C, which was logged in the village in February 1933.
That temperature was the lowest ever recorded outside the Antarctic and cemented the village, in the Yakutia region, the coldest permanently-inhabited place on earth.
Yet it is still some way off the coldest temperature ever recorded on the planet, which was -94.7C captured by a NASA satellite in east Antarctica in 2013.
Oymyakon has 50 permanent residents and its name means “non-freezing water” due to a nearby thermal spring.
The settlement originally developed as a stopover for reindeer herders who came to water their animals at the spring.
The village’s hardy inhabitants survive the winters, which drop to an average of -50C in January and February, largely by burning wood and coal for warmth.
The village sits 750 meters above sea level and the length of its days varies from three hours in December to 21 hours in summer.

AND I don’t mean the Russians or their busted thermometer. I mean the temperature manipulators at NASA GISS, NOAA, BoM et al., and the sycophant mainstream, climate-obsessed media who spruik their “Super-Hot Arctic”, “Hottest Year Evah” pseudoscientific propaganda PR BS.

Oldbrew , see how air flows. You can see that there will be a lot of snow in Central Europe.

Active low secondary will appear tomorrow over Great Britain.
Very quickly it will pass over Germany and Poland.
Temperature in North America.


Circulation over North America does not change.

If someone thinks that the current state of the polar vortex results from the warming of the stratosphere over the polar circle, then it is wrong.


I suggest firing a lot of campfires to raise the troposphere in north.
Circulation in the north will not change because solar activity decreases.

You are correct, Ren.
Looking at the webcams at the ski resort we will be going to in February shows it is snowing heavily.
The forecast is for another metre over the next few days and temps down to minus 20.
No doubt another bad case of global warming.

It does not seem quite so cold over USA Canada at the moment although it is using degrees f rather than centigrade.

The active low center is now over England.

Donald Penman, the warm and very humid air from the Pacific will now break into western Canada. The frost will weaken, but snowfall will increase.

The climate con artists are really trying to sell a dramatic cold winter as “expected” due to global warming!

Frozen eyelashes and -62C: What life is like living in the world’s coldest village
18 JANUARY 2018
