February looks very optimistic..... and even if the EU reflects a strong push of cold air towards western Europe to the extreme.... these extremes tend to rebound to the opposite extreme soon afterwards..... so i believe sometime in the middle to late part of February we will witness High pressure take over Western Europe once again, the high pressure will withdraw and weaken from Siberia, and once again we will see prolific activity in the eastern Mediterranean .... Concerning today's Low.... its results and style resembles a combination of 22/1/2012 and 22/1/2008 .... a famous Day for snow occurring at higher than normal 850 hPa temperatures .... but this low packs a stronger punch of precipitation and is deeper in the upper levels of the atmosphere....
