The entry was on the 24th of September. Vostok wasn't the coldest station either. It was -63 Fahrenheit that day.
A lot of wind coming off the equator toward Antarctica. I am going to take a look at a couple of local newspapers. Basically, the surface winds have the same pattern as the upper tropospheric winds. There is also many 'onshore' winds moving from East to West and creating a hot peninsula. But, the reason Vostok is the coldest today with 24 degrees colder is because of 'elevation' not because of climate. In other words Vostok is always the coldest when the rest of the ice continent is 'taking on' heat from onshore influences.

Vortex winds - high troposphere satellite
Basically, the onshore winds are significant.

The 'onshore pattern' is chillingly similar. That means the high tropospheric winds are transending all elevations.
Newspapers.
There is still drought in Australia. Whales in the harbor in Sydney. Winds, temperature 23 C or 73.4 Fahrenheit. Some really cool articles about the folks there.

New warnings for severe thunderstorms have been issued as the Bureau of Meteorology braces for damaging winds, flash flooding and large hailstones almost statewide.

HOBART: The war against the whalers has descended into an ugly internal feud before the new Antarctic season.
Sea Shepherd's leader, Paul Watson, and the Ady Gil skipper, Pete Bethune, are locked in an angry dispute over fallout from the New Zealand skipper's Japanese trial, according to emails seen by the Herald.
Mr Bethune has demanded to join the coming Antarctic campaign in apparent defiance of an undertaking by the anti-whaling group to Japanese authorities....
Oh, yeah, strong surface winds. Everywhere. Quite a mess, huh? Hot air lands on the ice from the Equator and all sorts of havoc ensues. Aye?

A week of dreary weather may have kept most of Sydney indoors but the whales sure didn't mind.
A humpback whale and her calf were spotted frolicking just 100 metres off the shore at Manly Beach this morning....
See, at one time on Earth, high tropospheric winds were in the upper troposphere and NOT transending to all levels of the surface. The VORTEXES that domninate all areas of Earth have been at work since October 4, 2002. A very long time for ionic storms to dominate the troposphere. Unending. Unyielding. And now. Homogenous throughout the entire air column.
Yep.
God's world/creation in reaction to those left in charge of EDEN. I mean it isn't the people of conscience stating 'Drill, Babe, Drill' now is it?

Damn, I'm good. Got it nailed, boys and girls, we got it nailed. You have to understand, this is the beginning of SPRING in the Southern Hemisphere.

Free electric car trial (click here)
October 7, 2010
.UP TO 150 Victorian households stand to get a free electric car for three months as part of a $5 million, five-year trial.
The state government yesterday announced details of the trial, which will swap a pool of about 60 electric vehicles - including cars, trade vans and motorcycles - between households and another 50 state-based organisations.
The battery-powered vehicles will be assessed in real-life conditions to give car makers and electricity suppliers an idea of the demands that future owners will place on the state's power grid....
