Blizzards in England? Good agreement in ensembles.
I'm wondering if I have planted out my greenhouse tomatoes too early :-)
Probably a lot of cold rain and wind low down, but above 200 metres???
If only it was January!

Snowy in Shropshire this morning. 2-3 cm full cover at 0500z, but
rapidly melting now with only a few patches left in the shade. It
would've been my latest "snow lying" day, had it hung around.
Plenty left on the high ground above 250 metres.

July 18th 2013 we reached +29.8C in Haytor - awesome. Night min. only
got down to +13.7C as well, so a restless night in the warmth.
Mean max. was +22.9C 4.3 degrees above normal. What a month.
August was cooler at +20.3C but still above normal.

That was a most memorable July!

My maximum on the 18th was 28.8C with the hottest day being 30.5C on the
13th. The mean maximum for whole month was 24.9C. August's mean maximum
was 22.7C and was another dry and sunny month.

The most remarkable feature of that July was the peristently sunny skies
clocking up 328 hours of sunshine. The were 18 consecutively cloudless
days from the 5th to the 22nd!

I thought it would never end - shame it did.

It was a notable month in Tideswell, too. The mean max of 23.3 was 3.4 deg above
average. 183 hours of sun was 138% of average. Perhaps the most striking feature
of the month was the very skewed rainfall distribution. The first 3 weeks of the
month produced almost no rain at all then it poured down during the last 10
days, making it the wettest July I have recorded here, with a total of 170 mm.
Most remarkable of all was 89 mm of rain falling in 8 hours during the night of
27th/28th.

Similar rainfall pattern here too with only 1.9 mm falling in the first
24 days (no rain at all from the 4th to the 24th) then 10.3 mm on the
25th and rain then fell on 4 of the 6 final days of the month. Though in
this case the rainfall was mostly light and patchy and the monthly total
ended up at 28.6 mm.

I sometimes wonder if the weather gods are mocking snow lovers. You
couldn't get synoptics
like this for love nor money back in that insanely mild December we've
just had but here we are towards the back end of April. I'm not
over-excited mind, A proper covering would be interesting but the
thought of watching wet snow swirling around in a raw wind without a
hope of settling isn't something that fills me with much anticipation.
Still, heavy snow at the end of April is hardly unprecedented.
April 1981, anyone?


------------------------------------------------------------------
Was looking at tha. It's bloody typical. Planned a week away in the heat
of the South Coast at Christchurch that week. I bet you any money you
like that those synoptics don't erode away to nothing as every
equivalent lot at 10 days have in the winters of the last three years !!
As they say, you couldn't make it up!

Dave, a chilly S.Essex.

Amazed when I looked out of my window this morning, and saw it snowing!

Unfortunately it didn't settle here - though it did on Cleeve Hill
apparently.

Yes we had a dusting in Wolverhampton. It was all gone by 11am.

As for Monday 25th it looks like we may get two to three inches of
crystallised water. I'll have to look at my old weather report book from
1981. I was a socialist back then and wanted to write down any perceived
misdemeanours of the atmosphere.

I remember the winter of 1981/82 which was very bad from the POV of
peoples extremities. Near to me at Newport (Salop) was the coldest
winter night at -27c for the land of the angles.

It was actually -26.1, Joe, on 10/01/1982. Shawbury recorded -25.2
on 13/12/1981, but "only" got down to -24 in Jan
1982.


Hey Freddie fast fingers, you’ve posted the same message in triplicate.

I remember Jan 82, as the time I went to college on my push bike.
Whilst I was cycling, I was shivering for a time, then I stopped
shivering, and I was confused because I was thinking I maybe warm, yet I
wasn’t sweating.

I felt a bit dizzy outside the college chaining my bike to some
railings. The S**t it the fan as soon as I went into the college. The
heat overcame me and I fainted, hitting the back of my head on a
radiator. The college nurse of ebony was called, and gave me a chair to
sit on, and a tincture of Camellia sinensis with plenty of milk and
sugar. She stayed with me until I was well enough to go to my lectures
on business monies. I said to the nurse of ebony, “God bless you”, my
jerry was well out of line. Thomas, Thomas where is that cat!
