I have decided to use todays average winter CET of 4.5C and compare it against winter CET's since 1660.
I will class the winters into several catergories, these are:
Severe - 3C or less
Cold - 3C to 4C
Average - 4C to 5C
Mild - 5C to 6C
Hot - 5C or above
-
The problem with snow over the last few years has been that the snowflakes have not been very big due to the air being too dry and warm to allow large snowflakes to fall at a fast pace.
-
I believe the reason why people do not mention that winter is because it was not classed as a severe winter, the CET for that winter was 3.1C, for that winter to be classed as severe the CET only had to be 0.1C lower and it would have had its place in the history books, how close can you get. LOL.
-
I will look at some historic charts to confirm this however if it is true then it wuld confirm my predictions of a long, hot and dry summer, 1976 had the driest summer on record until 1995.

This cold spells total is 3cm.

That is why the following year was known as "the year without summer."
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Was 1893 not the year when it snowed in July.

I have just watched a program on channel 4 about the famous eruption of Krakatoa in 1893, there were several smaller eruptions before but the main eruption was so large that the island of Krakatoa was completely destroyed, it was so massive that it was heard in Madagasca and the shockwaves from the volcano were carried around the world seven times, it caused a 40 metre high tsunami, the one from the Indonessian earthquake was only 10 metres high and it blocked out sunlight due to Sulphur Dioxide particles being carried around the world by the Jet Stream causing a temperature drop and was responsible for a winter which was classed as the most severe since 1816, it also turned the sky red for 5 years.
Since 1924 a new volcano has been forming and the new Krakatoa volcano is already as high as the previous volcano, it is only a matter of time before it has another massive eruption again.
To put the eruption in prespective, it was ten times larger than the eruption of Mt St Helens in 1980.
