You missed the cold snap! We had 10 days of below freezing here. Alston had a day of –8°/–2° C according to google's forecasts when I was still in AUS. Wish I arrived here a little earlier.  Now it's just mild rainy gayshit. Thing is with my previous climate, when it gets cold it STAYS cold; no such thing as a 7° C winter low up there. When I think of 55° N and 400+ m, I expect that it would be permanently cold and have a glacier. |

Well, wrong side of the Atlantic and all that. If the earth went in the other direction the glacier scenario would be true lol.

Seems the first 22 days of Dec has a mean of ca -3.5c in Longyearbyen. Almost a "c" winter month in the original Kõppen classification. In the darkest winter month in the High Arctic.
That is also 10c warmer than the normal (61-90).
On the mainland, 17 deg latitude further south, Rena (240 m, 61 N), has a mean of ca -10.5c after 22 Dec days.

When I was in Moscow I always thought of Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria as really warm places. I thought that there were palm trees in Odessa for a long time lol. While in reality Odessa is even colder than NYC

While in reality Odessa is even colder than NYC Do you have any memories of Moscow's winters and how you handled them if NYC feels cold now? Daylight differences between the two are quite large as well. Moscow is usually nice and continental but even they are above freezing this winter. What a bummer. As for Longyearbyen, a few of their recent Februaries have averaged something like 16°C above normal. Totally fucked. |

I was a homebody when I was in Moscow, even when it was warm I liked to stay inside all day and draw or read, I was very nerdy as a kid lol. Winters were not fun at all, I hated how cloudy it was, and because of the cold I would get sick all the time. I would miss 20-30 days of school a year with the endless flus and colds I got. My health improved a ton once we moved to NYC, I still get sick here but not nearly as much as in Moscow. Nowadays I like to go out a lot and walk everywhere, so I'm pretty sure Moscow's winters nowadays would be a lot worse. I'm dying to go back and visit Moscow but not to live. I don't wanna live in any place that is colder than NYC |

Big warmth spike later on today... topping 6°C at night right now in spite of the 8°C peak sun angle  Never ceases to amaze me. |

Yeah pretty much. For comparison, Bodø had high 2.3c today and Dec there averages 1.5c so far. |

By Dec 26th, two official weather stations in Norway have avoided air frost altogether this autumn & Dec. Both are lighthouses south of Ålesund.

We're about to get the warmest monthly low temperature on record for December this year, at 9.0°C. Previous record was 8.1°C, in 1988.

Half-sunny, half-cloudy. So many days "feel" sunny but will probably not register as such this time of year.

This, my friends, is what they call radiative cooling.  |
