Interesting stuff posted by Phage. I took a look but do not necessarily agree with Phage's conclusions. He seems to focus more on the Gulf Loop and the Gulf Stream but does not address the North Atlantic Gyre which is afected by both. Slightly modest changes in either could have massie affects on the Gyre, which in turn, could have massive affects on European weather. Whereas he is correct about normal, nominal changes in the Gulf Stream, I think what we are seeing today is more than normal or nominal.

So, I'm no expert at oceanography but these look rather compelling to me. Could this be the cause of Europe's cold weather? We know that the Gulf Stream Loop Current is responsible for bringing tropical waters up the European coast and keeping the temperature moderated. More info here at Wikipedia.
