Snowyowl9

January 2018 a far better month to the january just gone for snow.. February 2007 is the best eg I ve ever seen though..

A lovely cooldown for Spain back in 1987 to when this unprecedented cold spell happened..

Wet Wet Wet started all this you know september 1987 then we had a crap winter followed by another one and another..

Metwatch 1988/89 how many then 1989/90 I suspect that was low..But zero air here in 2013/14 is a bit strange,atlantic driven,we had more snow that winter to this though.. North-Easterly Blast Yes I agree with that,I didn t go back that far but as December 1933 was the coldest it looked very dry and blocked.. A winter ending ending in 3/4 no real classics but 1953/4 was more potent from the east and we can still get cold like that now and much more as 2018 february showed upper air.. Cold snap/spell end of february more or less what we can get now..

Pick of the winters ending in 3/4 not 1973/4 although thats looks a better solution into early march.. 2003/4 nope but a cold spell at the end of feb Nly.. 1993/94 1983/4 is my pick as 1st as the cold zonality was the best you ll ever see..

Winter 2013/14 was the most pathetic winter on record not a single air frost.. Had to wait until March 24th and that was just an air frost..

15 air frosts this winter I ve seen far worse the frosts were very solid.. Last year we had 22 air frosts by the end of february all starting since november..

Made 13.8c here but more rain came in and cooled off more..

LetItSnow! February 1997/2002 even more exceptional.. February 1998 was the standout record month for me,February 1990... This february will be off the scale,but not much in the way of sun like february 2008 with those warm feeling days..

Is it the mildest february early morning on record 12.4c here..

Lets see a few mild charts in this winter.. There were some slight thaws mid month: there was an appreciable thaw on the 9th, mas winds turned briefly to the south; and some places in the south had a thaw of 4 hours on Valentine's Day, as the temperatures struggled up to 1C, before it started snowing again. It was slightly less cold midmonth, as winds turned slightly more northerly; however, many places still managed to stay beneath freezing from the 14-15th. The weather turned less cold on the 26th, with some places having the first frost-free night of the month.

Well this could go in the winter thread of the spring thread.. But to see a december at a crazy record temperature of 9.7c in 2015 to see a May much colder in comparison at 9.1c in 1996 only 5 years previous december came in at at record low of -0.7c at 2010.. But so far this february is going to be rated 0/10 so far..it may make -1/10 yet..

December 2022 to dec 2023.. March 2017 to March 2018.. March 2006 to march 2007 although we still had had 2.5 inches of snow that month so don t think that counts..

Whatever happened to this site it had everything historic windspeeds..etc.. Climate graphs in Shawbury, from 1973 to 2022. Climate graphs in Shawbury, from 1973 to 2023. EN.TUTIEMPO.NET The main climate chart for Shawbury shows data for 49 years, from 1973 to 2023. Had to go to a site abroad to find out unless there is another one which I ve had no luck finding yet.. Edit oh I see its still there,just pressed wrong button..

TheOgre Well february 2007 gave a good winter spell heaviest snowfall since 1988 december.. And havn t checked the other two years 2011 was pretty boring I think,the beauty of having weather records and archive charts which I love to see again and again.. February 2020 was another record breaking smash very stormy month the wettest in living memory by far a truly disturbed month and the atlantic was so powerful we had cold westerlies and snowfall pretty much the last time we had cold zonality.. This month is chalk and cheese..

Well spring can go rogue and bring back deep winter..and the record books gets broken..

I remember Atlantic 252 It certainly can be 1990 first record warm feb day solar max, but we ll pick an extreme year record breaking and its in your era 1998.. A record temperature of 13.5c then 15c by the romantic day..then by March 1st we had 1 inch of snow shortlived.. Then we had a big surprise didn t watch any forecast at that time we had a blizzard with 6 inches of snow Nly gales.. Followed by another blizzard, other snow had thawed except drifts,but 9 inches of snow it was nothing like I ve seen before in april..Next time that happend was April 2000 and April 2012..April 1998 remains as the snowiest april on record here..

Don Winter 1974/75 although february was cooler.. What about 1987/88 winter is my bog standard for poor winter..

Summer is all about dry settled spells a few heatwaves and mainly thunderstorms in my book..and lovely humid air and last June was perfect..Early 1980s style for thunderstorms thunder clouds... July wasn t perfect far from it did produce corking thunderstorms one day though but from then on yes its the pest from the west back with avengence.. August was better as that at least gave a couple of shortlived mind settled spells it wasn t very warm really.. Summer came back in september with that record breaking heat..

I remember Atlantic 252 Thats because childhood memories are the best,memory is a very strange thing.. Yes the 90s were good at times nothing exceptional only for unprecidendent wind storms and february 1991 for cold pooling.. We ve seen much more exceptional weather of all sorts since I joined this site back in july 2006..Many records broken cold deep snow heat floods the kitchen sink.. For me of course it would be the mid 80s.. As for the 70s those were hit and miss..I will say the 70s were not great.. Whatever happened here the cold dips so far to the west,I ve seen this many times but this is intense..

I m trying to figure out why the midlands north gets more snow that the mountains on Wales,something not right here.. OK the colder upper air is further slanted in their favour today but other times..

That was winter of 1978/79 say no more the cold just lasted on and on.. Last march heavy snow was the highlight of the year with 8inches of snow drifting could ve done without the mild sector of rain then freezing rain,followed that night by a NEly blizzard and 5 extra inches of snow on top of huge damage to 1 inch of ice on trees a record in itself..higher up..

ANYWEATHER The biggest cold and snow events usually come in march or april when the jet decides to take a break.. Too many to count since 1998..

The cold rain did turn to big flakes of snow for a short time just before 10 as it turned much heavier..Sleet overall but upper air temp were too high to begin with and it didn t get that cold yesterday last night...

andy989 And your right in the zone snowdonia... The big March snow event was a weird one too but at least that gave a huge amount inbetween the freezing rain middle section..which was really nasty..
