I also don't understand what is happening with the weather, a year ago at this time here were +13°C, but in this November snow fell in the early month and has remained to this day, I don't remember such a cold and snowy November. What is interesting in Murmansk (Russia) now +3°C, but it is located above the Arctic Circle, as for example in Anapa (Russian Black Sea coast) only -3°C.

It's very surprising that you say it was mild there at this time last year, because in late November and much of December 2010 here (and other countries in western Europe too) it was the coldest, snowiest weather for the time of year since the 1800s! I'm used to unusually mild weather well above the averages as that seems normal nowadays but a month of 0C or -5C weather instead of +6 or so was a big surprise.

It's mild and windy here today - 12c or 54f.

Tomorrow's high, though, is meant to be 6c or 43f - more like it should be this time of year.

Interesting map. Odd how much of Russia went from one extreme anomaly to another so quickly (not for the first time that year - I remember reading Moscow had an anomaly of -7C in January 2010 and then +7C in July, which has to be on the crazy side even for them!)

Yea, Moscow's weather is incredibly variable, especially in the winter. There was a time when we had a cold January and Moscow had anomalous warm January that Moscow ended up with a higher average than us. And then they have other January that are unimaginably cold.

This chart shows the distribution of anomalies for each month. You can see July 2010 stand out, but it's still smaller than winter anomalies.
