9th/10th January 1924 snowstorm

[Weather-history]

In early January 1924, a block developed around Scandinavia and there was a battle between it and Atlantic systems coming up against the block. One such low push SEwards into northern France off the Southwest approaches producing SEly gales and a mixture of rain, sleet and snow on the 8th but the snow became more extensive on the 9th as colder air was pulled in producing blizzards and drifting snow. Numerous areas recorded several inches of snow.

 

The Atlantic won the battle on the 10th as it started to push the block  into eastern Europe.
