A few days later and now a similar pattern to what happened over North America 6 days ago has now emerged over Europe and North Africa were polar freezing air has moved so far south reaching Algeria in North Africa:
Opmerkelijk de #hoogtetrog gevuld met koude lucht (polair) die in de loop vd week helemaal tot over het NW van Afrika uitdiept. In bv #Algerije op 500 hPa dan temp. tot -20 a -25°C en op 850 hPa een graad of 0. In de bergen #Atlas gaat dan tot in de lagere delen (1500-1200m) sneeuw vallen.

It's a strange state of affairs where world leaders have to consider whether public support of Trump's Nobel Prize quest can get them, say, a tariff reduction of 5 percentage points.
Johnson: "Together with my friend Speaker Ohana of the Israeli Knesset we're going to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so we will jointly nominate President Donald J Trump for next year's Nobel Prize. No one has ever deserved that prize more & that is an objective fact."

Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and highway engineers surprised by induced demand
A few days ago, Berlin opened a new stretch of urban motorway, with the stated aim to reduce congestion.
Today, the stretch was temporarily closed because of too much congestion.

Several satellite-tagged Common Cuckoos are already close to completing their southbound migrations. The birds, which have been tagged by BTO scientists to better inform conservationists of the annual life cycles of Britain's declining cuckoo population, are part of a long-running study into the species.
