    Winter Snow Events

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    Here is the updated version of my Winter Snow Events analysis. It uses a wider range of sources and so I hope I have captured almost every snow event of significance that affected lowland areas of Britain.

    This version only goes back to 1946/47 because the sources I have for the earlier years are less comprehensive and so I would miss more of the snow events, resulting in a biased set of results. It also puts the recent winter of 2008/09 into some kind of context.

    Edit: forgot to mention, the purpose is to assess how snowy each of the UK's winters were over the period, using a statistical method where snow events are awarded points of 1 to 5 depending on how widespread and significant they were.

    Hi TWS, interesting read . Lets see what 2009/2010 holds. cheers FF.

    Hi Greyowl,

    Many thanks........I had a good look at the spec of the LaCrosse 2350 and decided to go for it. It has the spec I wanted. :)

    I managed to get it online from a company called Aces Electronics

    Hi Gilly, how are things going with the new 2350. looking in to getting one myself.

    The excellent link provided by diamond dust on the model thread has a fascinating animation that shows exactly how the recent easterly came about:

    One can see quite clearly how the vortex split sent a trail of easterly outflow right across the UK and out into the Atlantic. This wasn't the result of easterly wind propagation (which we are still awaiting to see if this affects us) but was a direct result of the vortex splitting MMW right down to the troposphere. I don't think you can see any clearer, a cold effect correlation from an MMW. For those in the model thread who are still uncertain about how an MMW may be linked to cold weather on these shores I suggest they watch this and then perhaps they may be more willing to listen to those who suggest that MMWs are linked to cold events.

    It may well be a good idea to keep an eye on this as it may give us an idea to see if there are any more outflows either from east or north.

    fascinating animation we wait with anticipation for the next phase.
