Cold in Canada,
Cool La Niña in the pacific,
Cold in Central Asia...
But that's about it for cold.
Enormous warm anomaly over the Arctic from Arctic amplification with significant heat records tumbling in Australia.

Please understand 'anomaly' before commenting.
It can be -10 °C and still be +20 °C warmer than normal. I have a snapshot example of how temperature and temperature anomaly can look.

Let's not forget what happened with the hurricanes in November.
#Eta became the strongest Atlantic #hurricane on record to make landfall in Nicaragua in November (Cat. 4, 140 mph winds).
#Iota then reached cat 5 only 2 weeks later and slammed the same communities (as cat 4).

On November 22, Somalia was devasted by Cyclone #Gati.
This was the strongest storm to hit this part of the world since records began 5 decades ago.
Gati was estimated category 2 hurricane equivalent at landfall.
