Over the last few days high pressure has been continuing to build across
Siberia bringing unusually cold weather.



On Wednesday weather warnings were issued by Russia's Emergency
Situations Ministry after forecasters predicted a fall of temperature
to -55C

(-67F). On Saturday night the temperature in Ojmjakon, Siberia actually
fell to -60.2C (-76F). January temperatures across the larger Siberian
cities normally range from -15C to -39C (5 to -38F).



Over the last few days this cold air building over the Polar regions of
Canada and Siberia, has now been sent southwards across the States in a
phenomenon commonly known as the "Siberian Express".



The Siberian Express is a meteorological term in the United States which
describes the plunge of an extremely cold air mass. When high pressure
extends north from the extreme western states of the US into northern
Siberia it allows this Arctic blast to surge southeast wards across
Canada and central and eastern parts of the US, sometimes as far as the
Deep South. It often brings with it significantly below-average
temperatures.



Over the last few days and into the weekend, the Siberian Express has
been felt as far south as the Gulf Coast. Most of south Mississippi, as
far east as the western Florida Panhandle, was placed under a winter
weather advisory on Saturday. Freezing temperatures were forecast as
well as snow. Up to 7.5cm (3 inches) of snow fell across southern
Mississippi during the day, before the storm headed east bringing
snowfalls across Alabama and Georgia.



Across both the US and Siberia, the cold weather is forecast to
intensify over the coming days.

untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately
forecast the weather a week from now." Dr. Richard Lindzen
