"I just watched a video about the coming winter and apparently snow cover over Russia into Europe is a record for this time of year," says Andy S.

"The data only goes back to 98 so bear that in mind, however snow cover has penetrated right into NE Europe and all of Scandanavia is already completely covered."
I'd love to see a link verifying that this is a record for this time of year.
