Whoops, the Sat image reloaded as the new one for Chris.

looking at the first post, isn't that really far north for a tropical storm?

Anything above 30N is unusual for Hur or stront TS strength. For being close to 45N at still TS winds it pretty impressive.

Remember the movie the Perfect Storm? You get a noreaster in their and it becomes a real mess. But the storms typically do head that way and eventually end up over Europe as rain storms. Hence why it'd be really bad if the ocean circulation belt went bye bye. No more warm air masses to N. Europe = Very chilly.
