A Very Cold Start Across Northern Rockies & Plains As Storm Progresses East
Don't be fooled by last week's 30s, 40s and 50s across the Northern tier, as you'll have already seen, winter is back with a vengence across the Northern Plains reminding residents that are digging out as well as shivering this morning that there's plenty more winter left in this season yet, afterall, it's still only February and I'm betting March has plenty of tough winter weather ahead for the winter-weary American North!
Southeast Enjoying Spring-Like Warmth Whilst It's Back to Winter Across Northeast
After a tough few weeks in particular in a region not farmiliar with severe cold and snow, well it may well be near the end for this winter, however whilst I believe an early start to spring is on the cards from New Mexico to Georgia and perhaps up into the Carolinas, winter may hold strong for another several weeks across the North and with a La Nina pattern in control now and the pattern showing that, we may find a stormy, though warm spring across the South whilst we may not have seen the last of the snow and bitter cold for a while yet for the North.

FRIGID AIR CONTINUES TO DOMINATE SCANDINAVIA, THE BALTICS, WESTERN RUSSIA AND THE UKRAINE
Moscow Shivering In “Coldest Winter In 100 Years”
Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga and Moscow as well as across a much broader area have all seen nearly a week of nights dipping under -20C with such cities as Tallinn, Estonia and Helsinki, Finland dropping below -25C at night under perfect conditions of clear skies, liught winds and abundant, deep snowcover, not forgetting the far northerly latitude. This air is becoming more extreme as we approach late February because though this is a typically cold region of the world in winter and even at this late stage in winter (winter can last into April in this region), but certainly these numbers are more common for cold waves during the period from late December through early February, however though nights are brutally cold, days are showing the late stage of the season.
The past couple of days has seen a slight moderation in the cold across Moscow, however, it's still well below normal with lows dipping to a current -18C whilst further north and west, the thermometer in both Tallinn and Helsinki are falling through the -20sC now and perhaps on their way towards -30C by morning. Days are (I believe) showing that it's late winter simply because for the depth of the cold we're seeing at night here, with an early return of sunlight and that sun climbing higher in the sky by day, temperatures aren't as cold as they could be, given those numbers witnessed at night. It's rising to around -12C or even slightly warmer, though it's well below seasonal averages, given the -25 to -30C readings at night, had these temperatures been registered a month ago then it's likely we'd have been seeing highs in the -18C or lower range because of lower, weaker sunlight, longer duration of darkness etc, especially this far north which is in line with northern Hudson Bay in Canada which is frozen over half the year!
