So...colder or hotter? MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!

=========================================

It turns out that it's first one (hotter), then the other (colder).

The mechanics of the hotter/colder scenario relate to an interruption
of the Gulf Stream current brought on by warmer weather. Once the
Gulf Stream circulation stops or slows, northern Europe turns into a
deep freeze.
