February cold spell discussion and chat
Jamie M replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Cold 7/10 Snow 8/10 It was quite a snowy spell here as far as I'm concerned. The ground temperatures though including the sun were a very big factor in the snow settling here on the Sunday but the amount of snow settling did certainly impress me for a coastal town here with 12 cm as a peak on the morning of the 11th. Showers off the sea on the 10th truly made it the best day of the spell, bit of sun and snow reminds you of the winters of 1987/1991. Takes a lot for some snow like that here on the coast and with more on the ground than BFTE, I'm quite chuffed. Although, there was a lack of clear cold nights so my minimum was only -3.3°C. Reminds me of a similar fashion in which Manston only dropped to -1.5°C on the 9th of Feb 1983, despite there being 16 cm of snow on the ground. An ice day in 2021 can't be scoffed at though, certainly very impressive. I would have liked though for clearer, colder nights and not the curse of Storm Darcy holding back convection until the 10th when it fizzled the next day. Snowiest spell here at sea level anyway since Feb 2012 in one of the most negative AO winters on record.
