Severe cold Bavaria and N Scandinavia

Colin It seems that some new records have been set in the past 24 hours - http://www.terradaily.com/2005/05030....3to5ksvv.html The quoted figure for Berchtesgarten of minus 43.6 seems to be well below the figures you mention for Bavaria - it looks a bit suspect to me unless the station is at altitude. My hazy memories of the place are of a pleasant lakeside village, which, although surrounded by mountains, wouldn't seem to be a serious frost hollow. Do you have any info from more reliable sources on this? Martin Guernsey IIRC, the 'Berchtesgarten' site is actually an experimental site in an extreme frost hollow (enclosed depression at high elevation). This came up when they had their -46 a few years ago. Blair |

Do you have any info from more reliable sources on this? Martin Assuming that you are actually talking about Berchtesgaden ('d' not 'rt' in the middle) then my impression was of a lakeside village gloomily enclosed by very steep mountains very close to the lake shore, and I would not be surprised if it is a frost pocket.

Do you have any info from more reliable sources on this? An office mate comes from Bavaria and even he agrees that it's been very cold there. He's spent the last two weeks berating us British people for our inability to cope with a litle bit of snow! -- Jonathan Stott Canterbury Weather: http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/ |
