[SOME WINTER NOTES]

Eden Winter Snow Index (cm days)

(for definition, see the Glossary for this newsgroup)

[November - March]

1998/1999: 0

1999/2000: 11

2000/2001: 10

2001/2002: 0

2002/2003: 18

2003/2004: 5

2004/2005: 9

2005/2006: 0

2006/2007: 7 (so far)

note that *last* year, when the mean winter-time temperature was close
to average, we had little snow cover at all, let alone some at 09Z. This
very mild winter, we have fared much better!

[TEMPERATURE]

MEAN MAX(ANOMALY): 9.1 (+1.9)

MEAN MIN(ANOMALY): 4.2 (+2.2)

24HR MEAN: 6.7 (+2.1)

With this value (for the three months of winter), this is the warmest
such season since 1989/1990 (anomaly +2.3C); this latter was also THE
warmest winter in the dataset which begins 1971.

[PRECIPITATION]

'Standard' winter precipitation:

WINTER: 267.8mm (149%)

This is the wettest winter (DJF) since 2000/2001.

This has been the sixth consecutive month with rainfall %age =10% above
the LTA. Sequences of 6 or more consecutive months with above-average
rainfall are not common within the last 35 years at this location: prior
to this one there were only two viz: 1994 September - 1995 February (6
months) & 2000 September - 2001 April (8 months).

For the period September - February, the rainfall total is 584.6mm, or
151% of the 1971-2000 average of those 6 months (388mm).

Martin.
