Beijing's first snow came 23 days earlier this winter season, and the temperature in the capital may hit a 10-year record low, which has led to the suspension of buses, as well as cancellation of flights and trains.

Parts of northeast China hit by record snowfall as cold wave passes
Snowstorms have wreaked havoc in northeast China in recent days, with record snowfall in some parts snarling traffic, disrupting train services and raising concerns about power supply as temperatures plunged, state media reported on Wednesday....

Its no better over here in the Southern Hemisphere. It has rained a lot in Australia in the last few days and it came out of nowhere. The Msm has been downplaying and underreporting it as usual. C’s did say that there would be rains and storms in this part of the world in sync with the ice age in the northern hemisphere.
The forecast looks grim indeed!
Of course depend from the model they using , but if that is what's going to be , or close to , then just looking around UK, it seems plausible to think that there could be some issues with the Gulf Stream, looking at the predicted temperature , they looks like the "normal temperatures" that you should expect without the warming effect of the Stream.

Then there is atmospheric streams. See Laura's comment below from a page back:
Think so, too. Coupled with localizations, some places may take a pounding, as recently seen in Mongolia above.
Apparently this early snow dump in Anchorage and southcentral Alaska on Nov. 11 was big even by Alaska standards.

Many Anchorage residents were shoveling sidewalks and brushing off car windshields for the first time this year as the town got hit by its largest snowstorm of the season.
Some parts of town are reporting over a foot of snow, including 15 inches reported as of 8:25 a.m. on Huffman and Birch Road on the Anchorage Hillside, according to the National Weather Service. Valdez reported 19 inches of powder at 6:40 a.m.

10 days ahead of time prognosis - are not really reliable
The above 850 hPa Level prognosis was made 10 days ahead of time. It suggested a scenario for a major cold air breakout over Europe for 18 Nov 2021. (The temperatures in that prognosis represent predicted temperatures at 1.5 km height, not showing ground temperatures ! ) I consider 10 days to be far too much ahead of time, to have any real value.
4 days ahead
This new 850-hPa level prognosis was made for the same date 18 Nov 2021 but only 4 days ahead of time
Quite a change.
While the north of Europe, as well Germany + Poland are still in the blue (below 0°C at 1.5 km) - yet it ain't purple at and below -15°C, which the earlier 10 day prognosis so dramatically suggested.
Ground vs 850 hPa (1.5 km height)
Having airmasses around 0°C to -5°C at 1.5 km height this time of the year, is not really strange for November. A temperature around -5°C. at 1.5 km still allows MAX temperatures to go above 0°C on the ground in November. See below:
Ground temperature prognosis vs 1.5 km height for 18 Nov 2021
Warsaw: Max +6°C, Min +1°C || -4°C at 1.5 km
Stockholm: Max +5°C, Min +0°C || -5°C at 1.5 km
All this being said... it is going to get colder, of course, leaning towards the risk for snowfall coming soon, including here in Stockholm. So far, and for the first time this winter season, we had a tiny brief moment of snow mixed with rain on 8 Nov 2021 around 05.30 - barely really visible - and that was it.
All previous prognosis for snow, had failed.
And, as I was saying about the Southern Hemisphere few posts above, The southernmost part of Australia, Tasmania just had snow overnight when it should be the beginning of the summer time.
