10 years and 20 years ago.

[Weather-history]

Two snow events in March almost 10 years apart to the day and both involving Atlantic systems coming up against a cold air block to the east and a Scandi high

[I remember Atlantic 252]

2006, bbc had too far east, famous snow 'fail' that one, just before I got internet, netweather etc, then I may not have expected any who knows

Remember the two events very well, classic battleground scenarios with the cold continental air winning out. The synoptics of March 2006 were very refreshing, look at how the continental block to the NE built and sucked up the atlantic swallowing it whole and surging forward into the atlantic - great for those who like to see the atlantic lose the battle. The following days were very raw, I was on the NE and we had many snow showers. I like the phrase 'Pennine Blue'..

Mid March can be a very wintry period, 2001 brought similiarly cold weather. Mid March 2013 also, indeed 11 March 2013 brought an ice day here.

Well, neither of those events delivered anything for me.

Don't remember 1996 but 2006 was a cracker here. A proper dumping. An excellent wintry March.
