Did someone mention Siberian snow cover being related North American snow cover?

I used to really like Joe. He is just hard to watch nowadays. Every Winter/Thanksgiving/Christmas is going to be "epic" in his forecasts. He has gotten worse than the Farmers Almanac and has predicted 20 of the last 2 blizzards over the holidays. I think most people like a cold and snow. At least for the holidays. Joe and the Farmers Almanac just play on that now to sell |

I see that Joe is "plugging" geothermal as an input heat source in this video.

Big Western European storms, First Scotland and Ireland. Now most of NW Europe, Is there something equivalent to the Tropical Storm Energy index for the North Atlantic? Ratty always finds everything. Be nice to have a comparison equivalent back through the years. Need to look back through the document on historical weather. Seems that storm numbers and strength go up in the North Atlantic during colder periods. And the hurricane index kind of fizzled this year. Could the storm concentration zone be shifting north at least this year?
BIG early November storm slams western Europe. The word "record" is used a lot. But no mention of a date for the last comparable storm from the records. Last record for November was set in 1916 ... 3.5 years into solar cycle 15 ... which is close to where we are now on the solar cycle 25 track.
The intensity of Ciarán was unprecedented, with wind speeds soaring to 200 km/h (124 mph), setting new records and causing havoc across Western Europe and as far east as Italy and Croatia. The storm reached its peak on November 2, unleashing its might with catastrophic force.
In France, the impact was particularly severe with 1.2 million households plunged into darkness as power grids failed under the storm’s onslaught. Meteo-France documented extraordinary gusts in Brittany, breaking absolute records. The coastal point of Pointe du Raz registered gusts surging to 207 km/h (128.6 mph), and in Brest, the winds rampaged at 156 km/h (96.9 mph). The maritime fury was further evidenced by colossal 20-meter (66-foot) waves battering the Brittany coast.
In the French city of Roubaix — located in the Lille metropolitan area on the Belgian border, the storm injured 15 individuals, including seven firefighters. Across the English Channel, southern England grappled with its own set of challenges as educational institutions closed in response to the severe weather, with gusts reaching 135 km/h (83.9 mph) producing massive waves onto the shores. Jersey, an island in the Channel, witnessed evacuations and property damage, with winds peaking at 164 km/h (101.9 mph) and a probable tornado causing significant destruction.
The United Kingdom confronted Ciarán with a historic perspective, as the storm’s central atmospheric pressure plummeted to record lows for November. The Met Office reported readings of 953.3 hPa in Plymouth and 958.5 hPa in St. Athan — surpassing records for the month that had remained unchallenged since 1916.

I have not studied Ciarán but I would be willing to bet a large wager (relative to my wealth and relatively low socioeconomic status) that the intensity of Ciarán was not "unprecedented". One of the best books I have read on historical weather was "The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History 1300-1850"by Brian M. Fagan The man did his homework and poured through historical weather records going back hundreds of years. There are well documented storms that I have no doubt would make Ciarán look like a summer squall. For you real, real weather nerds out there read "Historic Storms Of New England" by Sidney Perley. Once again documented storms dating back to the Pilgrims. But using the word unprecedented gets a lot of views, likes and shares on social media from the weak minded too lazy or too weak minded to question the modern mainstream media. Especially in an age where they ram man made climate change down everyones throats. So while we are at it, I do not think "unprecedented" means what they think it does.. .  |

Turns out the authors of the so called news articles used "unprecedented" when describing Ciaran to a specific location during the month of November. In reality it turns out Ciaran's pressure, wind gusts, loss of life, rainfall were no where near "unprecedented" unless you compare them to a specific location and date...
For the rest of us old timers it was a "blow", "Squall, "Noreaster" or "Blue Norther"
Nothing more.
