Deep freeze in Arctic Europe sends power prices soaring

On the Finnmark plateau, between Kautokeino and Karasjok, temperatures dropped down to -35°C on Sunday. The forecast for the coming week shows a temperature anomaly for the last days of November of 10°C below the reference period 1961-1990, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute informs.

Coldest out is Nikkaluokta near Gällivare in Norrbotten with -36°C.

In times of climate change, the current freeze comes in sharp contrast to last fall, when meteorologists reported about the hottest October and early November ever measured, with an average of 6,7°C above normal across the Arctic.

Cold weather even sweeps the coast of northernmost Norway where the Arctic waters are kept ice-free by the warm Gulf Stream. In Kirkenes, on the border to Russia, the thermometer read -25°C on Saturday outside the Barents Observer’s office.

On the Kola Peninsula, Sunday November 28 came with temperatures from -18°C to -30°C the news online Severpost reported.

Further east in the Russian Arctic, quickly accumulating sea-ice on the Northern Sea Route has created a critical situation as a number of ships have been trapped in thick sea-ice for several weeks.

Well, the good news is that if it drops to -40, you don’t have to say whether it’s celcius or fahrenheit.

A few years ago,while in a small town in Quebec (in January), I learned that -40C is the same as -40F. It was that cold on the morning I woke up in the town.

Send Greta there.


She’s booked, but she’ll be there right after she does the initial ribbon cutting ceremony on the start of the German shut down of 4000 Megawatts of power generation.

No big deal. Just wear more layers, gloves, and a couple of knit caps. Cover the ears. Face mask would help too. And goggles. And extra socks. And waterproof boots up to the knees. For 5 months.

Mix in the loss of Russian gas when Putin reacts to NATO meddling in Ukraine. Is Trump an “I told you so” kind of guy?

Why is 32 degrees freezing and 212 boiling in Fahrenheit?

So it can be said that the temperature "did a 180" when it goes from one to the other.
