To rescue the thread from terminal thread drift..... " Coldest September night in the Netherlands in 47 years
Last night the temperature at weather station Twenthe (near Enschede) dropped to -1.5 degrees.It has not been that cold in September since 1971. That year, the weather stations Soesterberg and Winterswijk recorded minimum temperatures of -2.2 and -2.4 degrees on 16 September." wattsupwiththat.com/2018/09/30/coldest-september-night-in-the-netherlands-in-47-years/

Astro - Do you expect that NW Europe is going to be colder than N America during December - January of the upcoming winter? Or is it a late winter all over the N. Hemisphere?

And in Alberta.... A comment to a WUWT posting: " Crispin in Waterloo October 7, 2018 at 4:13 pm
Zig Zag
Temperature is not “useless” but it is only one of the two parameters required to get a meaningful metric, which is the energy content.
We cannot say temperature is useless on its own, it has value, for example to indicate when freezing will take place, or to forecast melting. This is the current case in Alberta where farmers are on tenderhooks hoping for melting and ten days above zero. Something like 40-60% of the crops are in the fields and they have a foot of snow over them. It is a huge, potentially expensive issue. It started snowing in September, hard, and has not melted since. Massive losses loom. Bankruptcy threatens.
This is what we can expect during a significant downturn in temperature, not enthalpy. Hunger follows cold, not heat (as much)." wattsupwiththat.com/2018/10/07/bombshell-audit-of-global-warming-data-finds-it-riddled-with-errors/#comment-2482068

Astro - Do you expect that NW Europe is going to be colder than N America during December - January of the upcoming winter? Or is it a late winter all over the N. Hemisphere? The answer is no, I expect Indian Summer conditions in October, November, December 2018, and January 2019 throughout most of Europe and North America (except at higher elevations) and a very late winter season not fully underway until early February 2019. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/met-office-forecast-liverpool-hotter-15256704

Hope you're right. I've got some more terraced landscaping to do with selected edible plantings ... and it would be so much nicer to do it in 50 F weather than 30 F weather. I assume the cousins would concur. But I will miss Spring.

It was late summer/early autumn when I made this move from the Bay Area up to the Seattle area (MY GOSH! I need to slow down ... especially at my age!!!). All I have to say is that the "indian summer" prediction is playing out perfectly in the Seattle area right now. This is some of the most spectacularly beautiful autumn weather that I've ever experienced.
My younger daughter and her family lives in the Sacramento area (with all my moves, I've scattered my kids and grandkids pretty widely). She's telling me it's still pretty hot there for this time of year.

To follow up on Theo's post above.... "Warming Put On Ice…”Wicked Cold” Set To Sweep Europe…Arctic Ice Volume Climbs To Normal Levels By P Gosselin on 17. November 2018
Recently we’ve been hearing about how cold it’s been over much of North America, for example how Houston saw its earliest snowfall on record!
Well, it appears that the early wintry conditions are getting set to take even stronger hold over the Northern Hemisphere.
Yesterday at Weatherbell’s Daily Update, veteran meteorologist Joe Bastardi showed how some 90% of North America has been well below normal temperature-wise so far this month: http://weatherbell%27s%20daily%20update/ In Europe, the continent has experienced a very warm summer and fall so far, but that is about to change rather dramatically — should the latest computer model generated weather forecasts pan out, and which they are expected to do."(my bold) More at notrickszone.com/2018/11/17/warming-put-on-icewicked-cold-set-to-sweep-europe-arctic-ice-volume-climbs-to-normal-levels/The bolded text above would support Theo's forecast - warm summer and fall then 'wicked cold'.
