We have all heard about the weather patterns called La Nina and El Nino which affect the Pacific Region, these deliver devastating unpredictable weather patterns to areas. Last year we saw resorts such as Mammoth receive a double figure in feet of snow over three days.
My question is as follows:
These weather patterns have only been recognised from the 80's as far as I understand. Do we have any specific weather patterns which effect Europe, if so what are they called (If named)?

So ....
The European system is greatly affected by the El's - clever Americans naming these with a latin name as they are hogging all the snow at the moment and not taking responsibility !!!
Gulf Stream must have an effect and something called the Jet Stream as well.
But, primarily, I blame the Yanks!
Time for them to share the snow?
It must be getting bad if Adders is brought to swearing in a post! :oops:
This high stuck over Eastern Europe is showing no signs of going anywhere.
Sods Law - it will break, horrific weather will flood in, UK, roads/Airports etc closed, European Airports closed, roads completely blocked, resorts with so much snow that avalanche danger will be at 7 and lifts shut due to too much snow.
All in time for Christmas.
:evil:
I am bored with being pessimistic! I'm sure the snow will arrive and this will be a lovely ski season, after all it's not even started yet.

Ok so it turns out that our weather is dictated by our western counterparts. I would have thought that we relied on Scandinavian cold weather blown down?
So far everything that has been circulating on the web has been wrong, I read so many articles about how the UK was going to suffer from heavy snowfall from October through to January.
Is it so much to ask that we have nice warm summers and cold snowy winters? It makes the thought of moving to Canada tempting.
