All this talk by Ray and Happ about this scary Siberian stuff caused me to travel(computer) over to Russia to see with my own eyes what the conditions are there right now.Well I am no expert on those conditions and for all I know they are experiencing the greatest heat wave since sliced bread.That stated,however, I found these Temperatures to be a little nerve racking.This was a quick search and did not encompass numerous sights that were very close in Temperature:

Pokrovsk-(-51F)

Sejmchan-(-51F with Mon/Tues low-65F)

Ust-Maya-(-54)

Verhojansk-(-55)

Ust-Jjudona-(-59F)

Clarjakon-(-59F)

Zyrajanka-(-61F)

Tompo-(-61F with a High/low Wed.expected to be -61/-76;is this near Tampa?)

Ust-Moma-(-62F)

Most of these temperatures were early mid-day. If some of that stuff broke away and started heading to our houses,Katy bar the door!

Yes, I s'pose it could always be worse. The long range here through Christmas looks toasty. Nothing is better than a flip-flop/shorts Christmas morning.

Siberia truckers are known to light log fires beneath the fuel tanks of their rigs. Looking at those temperatures, I would not suspect them of using the wrong grade of diesel!

Yikes, Bubba...that's true winter POLAR-derived cccccold! Any slice of that via the jet stream, will be certain death to tender palms; either east or west of the Rockies! We'll have to wait any see what unfolds!

Not good at all!

I remember when we had several days of -31 FF in Cleveland in January of 1985, and that was nasty, and we weren't prepared for it.

I had my paper route then, so I was out in what amounted to a hurricane, with snow.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . ..

I moved to California that spring. :)

Forget Siberia. Look at the forecasts for MOntana and North Dakota the next couple days and be thankful that it is not expected to break south.
