Dear All,

A request for data for all you weather observers (more especially
those on the eastern side of England from Yorkshire down to East
Anglia) - just wondering, for those that have data going back that
far, what gusts did you report on that day (30th October 2000)?

I've managed to track down some gusts from the Met Office website, and
also on Roger Brugge's COL summary, just wondered if there were any
more out there.

Cheers
Richard

Hi, David,

What a memory! I only looked back at the wind data and didn't realise
the significance of the date.
You are quite correct. Rain & snow turned to snow overnight 29th/30th
and 5cm lay at Copley 09Z 30th (09Z-09Z rain and snow converted 30.1mm
after 18.5mm for the previous 24hr).
With day max just 5.3C on 30th and the next night -0.6C there was
still 2cm lying 09Z 31st.
Quite an event for me to forget!

I won't forget it Ken. I left Penistone in the morning to drive over
to Lancashire, water everywhere. I used some back roads around
Huddersfield to get to the M62 and it started to snow. Traffic
virtually at a standstill on the motorway and took me ages to get
there and I was really surprised to see the depth of it. We had a
cover in Penistone but it didn't survive the day and Rob Overfields
records show snow here as well. First time I'd ever seen snow in
October, but it's a common event now I understand!!!!!
