Russian meteorologists predict very cold winter
Global warming? Russian meteorologists are predicting one of the coldest winters in centuries.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

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.
