Bbc Weather: 11th And 12th March 2004, Frontal Snowfalls

[Weather-history]

Here's a couple of forecasts from the 11th and 12th of March 2004 as fronts engaged a Scandinavian high and cold continental flow. This gave snowfalls to the south but around here and indeed other parts of northern England it was pretty much a non-event as the frontal preciptation largely died out despite Met Office warnings for disruptive snow. I think the forecast for possible snow on the Friday night also went wrong as it largely fell as rain

Had a little snow around here in the early hours of Friday morning. About 4cm, most sigificant snowfall since January 2003 at the time. By Friday afternoon it had all but gone.

I can remember snow even in Bristol, a few cm - all gone by mid afternoon though in drizzle. Then the weather became more interesting after, and quite unsettled - feeling more March like.

There was a decent few centimetres in Brum, then, as John promised it turned positively balmy by the 16th. Shortly after, on Saturday 20th, the unsettled conditions brought severe and damaging westerly gales... Certainly an interesting start to quite an interesting, mixed spring.
