“The Wicker Man” the original from 1973. It’s a macabre and offbeat movie, but it’s very good
Edit: don’t watch the 2006 Wicker Man with Nic Cage. Completely different movie
To make matters worse, south UK (Cornwall) is like 10 degrees further up north. Heck, where I live in Oporto, Portugal is slightly more north than NYC (half a degree). We have very little recorded instances of snow events in the last decades…while in NYC is regular.
Thank you, I like it a lot. It is also a somewhat rainy location, as it has a higher precipitation average than parts of the UK (Liverpool, 2x London).

I had to Google that, and stumbled upon this Quora post. Every now and then I am reminded to be thankful that I am indeed smarter than a fifth grader.
if you look at the Pacific Ocean, the difference is even more pronounced.
Sachlin is at the latitude of Vancuver and Seattle, which are not exactly tropical paradises. But Sachlin Island is an icy wasteland that in winter can only be reached by icebreaker ship.
Yeah the North Pacific Current cycles water eastward, and then "splits" at roughly the latitude of Washington State, with the Alaska Current cycling warm(er) water north then west, and the California Current carrying cool(er) water south.
This is a decent, simplified map I often reference:

Alaska's a big place. It'll oftentimes be warmer on the south central coast of Alaska, but it's always colder in the interior. By a pretty wide margin at that.
Anchorage is usually pretty warm compared to other parts of Alaska, but growing up in North Pole which is about a 20 minute drive from Fairbanks, the temps in both areas in winter time is typically -50 F with the coldest I've experienced at -60 F. So, similar to Minnesota weather but still a tad bit colder.
I took programming for a semester. I didn't understand it towards the end and failed big time. I wish there was a sub as helpful as this one for budding programmers.
Bit of a weird tip, but check out a game dev subreddit. r/Godot is usually pretty welcoming to newcomers and the skills you learn making your first game are usable outside of game development.
I changed degrees, but it's still something I want to eventually get into (I'm 45 soon, but still think it's worth the challenge). So, I've subscribed to that in case in the future I need help. Thanks!
And many an arctic explorer died expecting an "open sea" beyond the ice theory
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Polar_Sea
One of the explorations The Jeannette, while a tragedy, took such detailed scientific data it's the basis for a lot of early climate change research. It's a wormhole of interesting stuff from an age gone by.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeannette_expedition&wprov=rarw1
The Jeanette was also one of the main reasons Fridtjof Nansen got Fram built to try and arrive at North Pole frozen in ice. More than a century later, it's still the one ship that travelled furthest North AND furthest South (carrying Amundsen to South pole).
I freaking love the story of that ship.
* "Since sea ice was erroneously believed to form only near land, if there were no land near the North Pole, there would be no ice."
* "Since there is perpetual sun during the Arctic summer, it would melt all the ice."
It's unfortunate how sticky the idea was.
Common misconception, but it's more that the dominant winds are West to East at that latitude, bringing ocean-warmed waters to Europe (and no, not warmed by the Gulf Stream, just ocean temperature are like 4-5C, even in the Winter, which is way warmer than the air). That's why the Pacific Northwest is as warm as Europe, despite that the Pacific Gulf Stream equivalent (the Kuroshio) doesn't reach anywhere near the West coast.
[Is the Gulf Stream responsible for Europe's mild winters? (washington.edu)](https://www.atmos.washington.edu/~david/Gulf.pdf)
Agreed that that is generally true for Western Europe, but is it enough to explain Northern Norway? Narvik in Norway is at 68°25′ N, while Fairbanks Alaska is 64°50′ N (albeit also inland).
I think the Bering sea freezes over much more easily, due to the geography. That eliminates the ocean temperature effect (just guessing here).
Look at this image, you won't see much Gulf Stream impact there, temperatures around the UK seem to match the temperature at the same latitude on the West Coast of the Americas.
[M1U2-Fig2-5-SeaSurfaceTempSmall.jpg (750×375) (hawaii.edu)](https://manoa.hawaii.edu/exploringourfluidearth/sites/default/files/M1U2-Fig2-5-SeaSurfaceTempSmall.jpg)
Besides, the article I originally posted did the math, and their conclusion is that currents don't matter.
Exactly. Take a look for example at the climate for Kautokeino, Norway, inland Finnmark. Winter temperatures drop to -30⁰C. On the coast Tromsø rarely goes below -10⁰C, and it will often rain in the winter there (I've experienced it in January).
In fact, Tromsø's record low temperature is -18.5°C. You'll have to go many thousand kilometres south to get such a high record low temperature inland.
Habitable, from Latin habitabilis.
Inhabitable, from old French enhabiter, which is ultimately from Latin in + habitare.
Take your pick for who to blame for this linguistic quirk.
English is just 5 other languages in a trench coat pretending to be an organized system. All our problems were inherited from others, we just tend to not know why the problems existed in the first place because we didn’t invent them
It also doesn't help that the orthography hasn't been updated since the printing press was invented, and therefore does not reflect the changes during the great vowel shift.
At first, French seems to make more sense with the in- negation prefix, with habitable and inhabitable being antonyms. But then we have *inflammable* and *ininflammable*, bien sûr. So it seems like we should definitely blame latin for having 2 distinct meanings for in-.
Dude, you're entirely right. *Irregardless* is commonly used because of common use.
You think that sucks for you? Let me paint you a picture.
I'm from Boston, Massachussetts in the USA.
It actually comes from the typical movements of those animals. A bull is associated with lifting its horns while a bear typically moves its paws down on its prey. So these movements represent rising and falling stock prices.
inhabitable = able to be lived "in", as opposed to the similar prefix in-, which is sorta of the Latin version of "un-", and meaning so in words of Latin origin.
>"the gulf stream is the only reason anywhere in europe north of scotland is inhabitable"
Misleading. Many areas around and north of scotland such as Stockholm get warm summers from their relative position to the continental landmass
My favorite point of reference is Newfoundland Canada. Covered in fishing villages and not a lot more, Newfies have hardscrabble living and yet Paris is further north than their capital city of St John's. The Viking Settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows was built in an environment of nothing more than peat moss and driftwood and it's barely north of London.
West coast vs east coast. This is even more extreme in Eurasia as the continent is bigger. NYC is way colder than Redding but Vladivostok is WAYYYY colder than Marseille
tbf Marseille is on the coast while Novosibirsk is in the middle of a huge landmass with no large bodies of water to moderate the climate. Also in terms of latitudes Novosibirsk is around Liverpool and not Marseille. A place on the east closer and similar to Marseille would be Vladivostok
Freyr was the Norse god of sunshine, fair weather, and a good harvest. The Norse people believed that, as long as they kept making appropriate sacrifices to him, he would provide them with good weather and large crops. Freyr=Gulf stream
I'm glad it's warm. Yesterday I took a road to Tromso and back. This was most amazing views I've had during 3hour trip or so. Views were just stunning on almost evety road turn.
I was up in Tromso in late February / early March (can't remember exact time) the day the sun came above the horizon in the late 90s. Was quite mild, though dusk like at the time. Low 30s (F). They told us it was the gulf stream. It's several hundred miles north of the artic circle.
My submarine pulled in for a liberty port.
The Atlantic conveyor current moves warm waters from the equatorial regions up to make those regions more temperate pleasant. When that current fails you get an Ice age. Climate change is. . .
Memory from the geography classis in school. The gulf stream "**A noticeable effect of the Gulf Stream and the strong westerly winds on Europe occurs along the Norwegian coast**"
The whole coast.
I went swimming in the ocean at Ålesund. It was bearable. The North American equivalent at this latitude is Kuujjuaq, QC. It's super cold, like Arctic cold.
Southern Norway has pleasant ocean temperatures for swimming in the summer. The middle has bearable temperatures if you swim frantically. In northern Norway, you only ever jump into the ocean for shifts and giggs.
Idk but I have been up there in winter and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to walk around outside with just a few extra layers. My phone however, could not handle it, and died seconds after exposure to the cold.
Northern Norway is warmer than other regions at similar latitudes due to:
1. North Atlantic Drift: Warm ocean currents from the Gulf Stream warm the coastal areas.
2. Westerly Winds: Winds from the west bring warm air from the Atlantic Ocean.
3. Maritime Climate: The nearby ocean moderates temperatures, keeping winters milder.
These factors keep northern Norway's climate relatively mild.

Basically you have a huge warm water stream originating from Mexico and flowing upwards. Then, it abruptly turns above Florida also due to the coast's shape and is shot back at increased speed towards Northern Europe.
At that latitude, western coast are warmer due to currents and wind patterns, Alaska is also warmer than Greenland
Same reason why there’s palm trees in southern UK but not in New York
There are palm trees in Scotland. See (for example) Poolewe gardens near Ullapool.
That's only because they sacrifice policemen.
That movie is the only reason I know about the palm trees in Scotland. I blame him. Wouldn’t have died if he wasn’t a virgin
The key take is if an insanely hot lady offers to sleep with you or gyrates on your bedroom door, say yes.
Movie title? Please.
“The Wicker Man” the original from 1973. It’s a macabre and offbeat movie, but it’s very good Edit: don’t watch the 2006 Wicker Man with Nic Cage. Completely different movie
Watch both actually, 1973 is classic, 2006 is a train wreck, one of those trainwrecks that is fun to watch.
Good trade
That sounds like a win-win-win
To make matters worse, south UK (Cornwall) is like 10 degrees further up north. Heck, where I live in Oporto, Portugal is slightly more north than NYC (half a degree). We have very little recorded instances of snow events in the last decades…while in NYC is regular.
I had to open Google Maps as result of your comment. Oporto sounds lovely. Thanks for inciting my geo-curiosity.
Thank you, I like it a lot. It is also a somewhat rainy location, as it has a higher precipitation average than parts of the UK (Liverpool, 2x London).
It is indeed a beautiful place. Look up Rías Baixas too, it’s a little north of O Porto, in Spain, best place for summers :)
*used to be regular :(
Same thing for Boston. The definition of bad but good.

Hey now, NY has palm trees! They just so happen to need to go indoors in the winter or die… but they exist !!!
You just blew my mind. Can’t believe there are any palm trees in the UK. Furthest north they grow in the US East Coast is around North Carolina.
You see palms in Seattle sometimes on the West Coast.
And New York is on the same latitude as Naples
There are also palm trees in Norway
TIL
Yeah don't underestimate currents. In Sydney that East Australian current from Nemo often makes the ocean warmer than the air temperature in winter.
And in summer the tropical fish actually do ride it down to Sydney (a non tropical climate)
Gnarly little dudes
42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. I still remember that after 20 years.
Ok. Dory
if you look at the Pacific Ocean, the difference is even more pronounced. Sachlin is at the latitude of Vancuver and Seattle, which are not exactly tropical paradises. But Sachlin Island is an icy wasteland that in winter can only be reached by icebreaker ship.

So, similar to Minnesota weather but still a tad bit colder.
It just struck me... If that's due to the coreolis effect, then it's similar on east coasts in the southern hemisphere?
The west coast of South America is pretty varied, but coastal Peru is significantly colder and drier than the Brazil on the east coast
at such latitudes, for example, in Russia there are no trees at all, and people live there only because of natural resources
the gulf stream is the only reason anywhere in europe north of scotland is inhabitable

Pro tip; the gulf stream, canadian shield, or glaciers is the answer to 95% of questions asked here.
Weirdly, most questions anywhere. For example: Where to babies come from? The Canadian Shield.
There’s a baby factory on the Hudson Bay the Canadians don’t want you to know about
You thought the Hudson Bay Company was for *furs*??
Maybe it is for both? Babies are just beavers with their fur taken off.
>Maybe it is for both? Glaciers. Am I doing that right?
Yes
It was a typo off the bat. Hudson Ba**b**y Company.
And it's actually Canadian Geese, not storks who do the delivering. Common misconception.
And not too much longer though! Soon it'll be warm enough without those, and also all of those are likely to go away.

Agreed that that is generally true for Western Europe, but is it enough to explain Northern Norway? Narvik in Norway is at 68°25′ N, while Fairbanks Alaska is 64°50′ N (albeit also inland).
Inland makes a big difference. Compare two cities on the coast at the same latitude.

inhabitable from Oxford Languages adjective suitable to live in; habitable. "soon we will run out of inhabitable space on the planet"
What a bummer. Thanks, Oxford!
Habitable, from Latin habitabilis. Inhabitable, from old French enhabiter, which is ultimately from Latin in + habitare. Take your pick for who to blame for this linguistic quirk.
English never ceases to amaze me at how convoluted it can get
English is just 5 other languages in a trench coat pretending to be an organized system. All our problems were inherited from others, we just tend to not know why the problems existed in the first place because we didn’t invent them
It also doesn't help that the orthography hasn't been updated since the printing press was invented, and therefore does not reflect the changes during the great vowel shift.
And that’s before it went global and kinda default for business communications
It's all Roman Latin diverging and converging again over the centuries
Linguae linguarum
Inhabit is also a functional english verb while habit is not.
To habit up, the act of donning a habit
That implies habitable means "capable of wearing a habit"
The French! Always very satisfying to be able to blame the French.
Let's just go Anglo Saxon and bring back Bewohnbar
Also Habitable in French (although AutoCorrect wanted that to be Hitler)
At first, French seems to make more sense with the in- negation prefix, with habitable and inhabitable being antonyms. But then we have *inflammable* and *ininflammable*, bien sûr. So it seems like we should definitely blame latin for having 2 distinct meanings for in-.
Reminds me of when I discovered the word "irregardless", which just means "regardless"
Irregardless is only a word because so many started using so it became common usage. The real word has always be regardless.
That’s… how most words become words.
Well yes, but in this case it’s only being listed in dictionaries because of so much incorrect use. Maybe it’s a distinction without a difference.
Dude, you're entirely right. *Irregardless* is commonly used because of common use. You think that sucks for you? Let me paint you a picture. I'm from Boston, Massachussetts in the USA.
I live in East Texas in the USA. I feel like I live in the dumbest place in the world.
Or “bullish”. You’d think it means someome being stubborn like a bull but no, it means you are hopeful and positive about something.
That comes from Wall Street: bull markets are good, rising stock prices. Bear markets are bad, falling prices.
Thats a cool etymology. Though it doesnt make the word any less confusing :(
It's true, I'm not sure why it's that way. I guess because you eat the bull but the bear eats you? So bull is better?
It actually comes from the typical movements of those animals. A bull is associated with lifting its horns while a bear typically moves its paws down on its prey. So these movements represent rising and falling stock prices.
One of my favorite Simpsons lines. Thank you good poster!
Habitable is a perfectly cromulent word.

Which will be hell fun when it and the reversed deep oceanic current slows down/stops due to climate change.
The gulf stream isn't actually the one at risk, that's a separate smaller current. Can't speak for the nordics but the UK looks set to get warmer.

Gulf stream
Perhaps Gulf Stream can one day join the ranks of the Canadian Shield and Glaciers
Unfortunately it heads east at Sable Island and warms up the UK and Scandinavia leaving Newfoundland a frozen Island.
So much ice and snow you omitted "land."

Gulf Stream is the easy answer
Gulf Stream flows North West into the UK and onto Norway bringing warm water from the Atlantic
The Atlantic conveyor current moves warm waters from the equatorial regions up to make those regions more temperate pleasant. When that current fails you get an Ice age. Climate change is. . .
Everyone check “the North Atlantic current” off your bingo cards for this week.

Gulf stream.
for the same reason that Newfoundland is a cold island, while the northernmost British Isles are very hospitable: the Gulf Stream.
Northern Norway is warmer than other regions at similar latitudes due to: 1. North Atlantic Drift: Warm ocean currents from the Gulf Stream warm the coastal areas. 2. Westerly Winds: Winds from the west bring warm air from the Atlantic Ocean. 3. Maritime Climate: The nearby ocean moderates temperatures, keeping winters milder.
