Snow And Ice In The Northern Hemisphere Autumn/Winter 2015/16

It's a small thing, but can I suggest that when posting the NIC charts, we use the archive images rather than the latest because otherwise the posts will change every day. For example, this is the archive image for the 7th:

The image name uses the Julian date format, so if you're looking for a specific day you'll have to convert.

good point. or save the image then upload it from the saved location. i've done that and my posts still show the original image

Healthy gains over the last week.

 

Oct.4th..  Oct.11th..

I'm running the risk of being a killjoy, but won't most of that snow west of the Urals and south of say, 60N, be transient/short lived?

[Bullseye]

So far snow rates over Eurasia are nothing to get excited about and we are near mid-month. (missing 2010 and 2014) http://t.co/cXgrUJZgiO

New post by M.Ventrice of WSI, which shows some interest on the snow cover front.

Sorry about that, I tried to fix the link, does it work now?

[joggs]

Works for me.

[Woollymummy]

Thanks Bullseye, it works.

Hello again.

 

Will be popping in here from time to time to see how things are progressing over the coming days and weeks as ever and whether it will lead to a much anticipated/hoped-for BIG FREEZE will be the one hundred million dollar question.

 

Across the nearby continent, this week should see some brief snowfall as far West as parts of Germany and to boot, it was expected to be rather heavy in nature, last I heard.

 

I'm pleased with the dry signal right now over the UK and the trending colder than normal Autumn over much of our part of the globe, bodes well at least for the first part of Winter I'd suggest.

 

Onwards and upwards.

If it was winter right now, the current set up would provide lots of lovely cold temps and the odd snow shower. The snow gains are looking good.

Today's snow cover, and it looks like the advance West has halted for the time being and in fact melted back some what!

 

 

Yesterday's

 

[summer blizzard]

If this gradient is replicated south of 60N then it's a bad sign.

It's barely gotten started South of 60N

Snow in Belgium.

 

 

It's pretty paltry by comparison to further east but what is remarkable?  ..... it's the coldest October weather in over a hundred years!!

Pretty nippy down here too with a few flakes down to 400 metres and some cold records falling.

Getting closer by the day, but all a waste of time right now, for the UK of course. Still got an inkling for an early sprinkling in parts though, maybe this side of December.

Anything that starts to cool everything down is not a waste as it will help those marginal events later on
