Russian meteorologists predict very cold winter
Global warming? Russian meteorologists are predicting one of the coldest winters in centuries.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I have recorded the appearance of the Sun for almost 8,300 days and the aurora from here in ND for 2,240 times, and I would not at all be surprised by a bitter winter here. Based on last year’s weather and the behavior of the Sun, I for certain expect a colder November and December here, and guaranteed a windier March, ’11 than last season. Also a better than even chance that next summer will be drier than this past one in this area. BUT the Sun is fickle these days too and can portend activity (or not) on its own accord.
Reminds me of 2006:
Great Russian freeze spreads west
“Last Updated: Saturday, 21 January 2006, 12:54 GMT
Severe cold weather gripping large parts of Russia has now spread west, causing chaos in Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states and Scandinavia.
…
Dozens have died of the cold, with temperatures as low as -33C recorded.
…
The weather is the coldest to affect the country in more than 25 years.”
Or 2005:
Europe shivers in severe winter cold snap
“Europe shivers in severe winter cold snap
WARSAW (AFP) Jan 27, 2005
In a ceremony marking the liberation 60 years ago of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, Poland world leaders stood in biting cold and softly falling snow pleading for the horrors of the Holocaust never to be forgotten.
Snow and sub-zero temperatures prevented new Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, who attended the Auschwitz ceremony, from flying to Brussels to introduce himself to European Union members. And the arrival in Poland of Russian President Vladimir Putin was delayed for nearly 20 hours due to bad weather.
…
Road traffic all but stopped in central Croatia as snow depths reached 1.20 meters (around four feet), breaking a record dating to 1954.

This is the one I was looking for:
Mongolia: 4.5 million livestock perish in drought and severe winter
“Ulaanbaatar : Mongolia | Mar 29, 2010
About one-tenth of Mongolia’s livestock, an estimated 4.5 million animals, have perished leaving herders desperate for food and other emergency relief.
…”
Mongolian dzud kills millions of domestic animals
Posted on April 26, 2010
The last dzud in 2001 killed about 11 million animals. However, experts estimate this dzud will be worse.
…
“I have been a herder since 1960 and have never seen a winter as cold as this one,” said Mr. A. Lkhagvasurn….”
I’m pretty sure there are no weather monitoring stations in Mongolia.
