#physics #weather **Europe to soon freeze** That's only if the pattern of last time repeats .. most likely. The narrow, intense streams of cold air are 'spills' from the Arctic headpond of 50 below air. The spills are defined by topography. If the warm air from the tropical plume is pushed back, then UK gets the same freeze as last time. The cold air will drift over Europe. However, things change, just yesterday there was a perfect storm factory in the North Atlantic, but all the other spills have destroyed it. In about a week or so, the headpond will have drained, and start to build up again, just like those tip buckets at the splash pool.
