Northerly plunge: 18th-19th March 2007

[Weather-history]

I remember this Arctic plunge from 10 years ago, hail, thunder, snow came with this plunge.

[Thundery wintry showers]

In the South Shields/Sunderland area there were sleety showers on the 18th, snow showers on the 19th but they didn't lie, and then on the early morning of the 20th the snow did lie to a depth of about 2cm, by which time showers were mostly confined to eastern areas.  At Cleadon I recorded a maximum of only 3.8C on the 20th, although it was still quite marginal for lying snow with a minimum of 0.7C that day.

I recall that there were reports of wintry showers from the Exeter area on the 19th and 20th also.

Looking back, I had sunny intervals and hail showers on the 18th, then snow showers on the 19th but none of which lay. Just over the Estuary however in Wales they had lying snow on the 19th. It was a great convective day from memory will giant billowing cbs. Then the 20th and 21st were most fine but chilly and frosty. I think there was also some brief snow falling on the 22nd which turned to rain as a warm front moved through.
