I read some interesting stuff on how between Dec. 15th and Jan. 15th that Moscow was about 8 degrees above normal temp. wise...but between Jan. 15th and Jan. 26th Moscow is now 15 degrees below normal! That is a major turn around. They went from a very warm pattern to a very, very record breaking cold pattern very quickly. I am worried that the same will happen in the U.S.

I think the coldest here in S FL will be in the upper 40's as always. If that air comes down it will be modified. Winter might actually be over here in S FL.
