Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and West Virginia are expecting 167 percent of their average snowfall this winter, according to WeatherBell, whilst snowfall in much of the surrounding is expected to be up one-third more than average. Similar effects are being seen in Russia, parts of China and across central Asia including Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Uzbekistan and down into Afghanistan. The cooling was predicted at least two years ago by Russian scientist Habibullo Abdussamatov, supervisor of the Astrometria project on the International Space Station and head of space research at the Pulkovo Observatory, St Petersburg. Abdussamatov has predicted that this year will mark the start of a downward trend into a mini ice age. It would be the fifth mini ice-age to occur in a millennium, suggesting that the climate is following a well-worn natural pattern.
