  1. Prepare yourself nation of Greece! You will soon get the Norwegian 3 month long farming season, and during those months you will need to build enough supplies to last your through winter. Dont waste time, better be efficient.

    We on the other hand will take your year round farming seasons, and use surpluss to build Parthenon’s and Acropolis’es, and a nice place for people to come on holiday. Seems like a fair trade to me.

    That is all.

  2. It’s still colder in Sweden and Norway, just not *all over* the places. Just saying.

    /Northerner who saw the sun yesterday, *for the first time since the late days of November*.

  3. This same kind of thing happens a lot in North America, it’s actually not that rare for Alaska, even the interior, to be warmer than states like Minnesota in the lower 48.

    It feels very unfair when we’re colder than the Alaskan bush, like nature is messing with us. But air masses can affect different parts of a continent in opposite ways.

  4. The flowers are budding in my yard in West France and we are only in January (soon February) that’s crazy ! When it’s cold in Greece it’s warm in the rest of Europe.

  5. Up here in the Carpathian mountains in Romania im using two electric blankets cuz gas is too damn expensive

  6. Meandering Jet Stream (Google it) @ u/EuropeanWeather

    tl;dr [Sometimes weather systems can get stuck in place for an extended period of time. This is known as blocking.](https://www.carbonbrief.org/jet-stream-is-climate-change-causing-more-blocking-weather-events) Scientists believe this [increasingly wavier pattern](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/storm-steering-jet-stream-could-shift-poleward-in-40-years/), that comes to a seeming standstill, is happening more often because of climate change.
