Stockholm is forecast to experience its coldest seasonal temperatures for over 100 years this week as winter weather takes hold of the country, according to the Swedish Meteorological Institute (SMHI).

Temperatures across the country are expected to drop to record lows for the first week of December, with the exception of the far north, with averages coming in 7-10 degrees Celsius below normal.

Temperatures across the country are expected to drop to record lows for the first week of December, with the exception of the far north, with averages coming in 7-10 degrees Celsius below normal.

Stockholm registered -11 degrees Celsius at the weekend, the coldest November temperature since 1965 and the mercury is set to plunge further on Wednesday and Thursday, dropping as low as -15.

"It is far below average temperatures, which usually oscillate around zero at this time of the year," said Alexandra Ohlsson, a meteorologist with SMHI.

Dalarna and Jämtland in northern Sweden will also be hit with the harsh weather. The Storsjön lake in the heart of Jämtland's main city Östersund has already frozen over in most parts.

SMHI forecasted that in southern and central areas the cold will ease off somewhat come Friday. Northern Norrland will however drop to minus 14-17 degrees Celsius in the middle of the day.

The sub-zero temperatures are here to stay though, even in the south, Alexandra Ohlsson said.

"It looks like the sub-zero temperatures will persist," she said.

With more snow on the way in from the Baltic Sea, the current high snow depth of eight decimetres, recorded in Tidaholm in western Sweden, is set to be exceeded.

Habo and Mullsjö are some of the most wintry white municipalities in southern and central Sweden, and warnings have been issued over the dangers associated with heavy snowfalls.

Emergency services in Jönköping county in central Sweden are urging people to check their roofs, especially split-level houses where deep pockets of heavy snow can form.

SMHI was reluctant to issue a forecast for Christmas and on whether the temperatures will remain low enough to keep away the slush that typifies the festive season in many parts of southern and central Sweden.

Coldest In Denmark In 131 Years

Record cold in Denmark

Worst in 131 years

1 Dec 10 - In Denmark we have worst November cold for 131 years. In Vestervig in northern Jutland, the temperature stayed low as -4.5 degrees, the lowest November temperature measured there at midday since the 1879.

Also at Fano was a near record cold. Here the thermometer is not over -3.9 degrees, the coldest there since 1884, the coldest in 126 years.

Copenhagen too was icy, and historically cold. With a maximum temperature of -4.2 degrees at Landbohøjskoen in Frederiksberg, one would return to 1890 to find a colder November day.

Coldest in Trondheim, Norway, in 222 years

Coldest since 1788

30 Nov 10 - I can't read Norwegian. However, reader Ivar M. tells me that "kaldest siden" means "coldest since."

This means that it has been the coldest in Trondheim since 1788.

Coldest in 222 years!



And the would-be dictators in Cancun keep screaming about global warming.

Or "climate disruption," as they now so coyly want to call it.

It's still our fault, of course.

And they should still tax the hell out of us, of course.
