off topic: they were popular until the 90s too! Here another reader of the spanish traduction during his chilhood the creator of the series used the same technique of hipertext fiction developed earlier by Julio Córtazar in his famous novel "Rayuela".

I always thought it was such a fascinating way to read a book. Creative and gave incentives to kids to read.

As I got older I was hoping for adult versions but didnt find them. Dont know why or if they even made them.

"Uncharted Territories" regarding the historic Sudden Stratosphere Warming event.

In just the few yrs I followed these events I noticed it does have cold and snowy implications with a lag time. So have no idea what a historic one means now.

Busy February-March with cold and snow? Where? Maybe nothing but the usual?

I'm already seeing February looking active in Eastern U.S..but maybe Europe shares the fun too?

Questions, Questions.. at least its interesting to see this SSW unfold. Now lets watch the results.

Wednesday's cold push has slowly, with every model update, disintegrated in to a total non-event

Indeed. I was foolish enough to get excited about the upper 20s I saw in the model Cambium posted. Looks like it won't even get below 40.
