... http://www.wetter-zentrale.de/pics/Rukm1441.gif In Scotland probably yes. I would have thought that elongated trough to the west of the main low puts too much westerly component in the wind for significant snow in lowland England though. During the 1990's when I lived in Scotland (Nr East Kilbride - 200m ASL), that type of setup often produced decent snow, mainly from showers, but only above about 150m. Never seemed to be anything in England though when I spoke to friends on the 'phone. Nothing in Malvern from the current setup, only light rain showers yesterday afternoon and nothing visible from the Malvern Hills on the Hills in Central Wales to the west yesterday morning. Don't know about now though, not been up to see One of those I was up on the Hills walking with yesterday said she did not remember decent thick snow in this area since Jan 1982! :-(( -- Pete --------------------------------------------------------------- The views expressed above are entirely those of the writer and do not represent the views, policy or understanding of any other person or official body. --------------------------------------------------------------- http://tinyurl.com/39r7z Southerly tracking low pressures? |

Support the world's oldest motorsport venue! http://www.shelsley-walsh.co.uk/future.html I don't know, I didn't live here in 1991. The person concerned was relating events as much as anything to how her son, 10 years old at the time had enjoyed it in 1982. Since by 1991, that would not have been an issue maybe she had forgotten that one. I remember the 1981/2 events myself in Malvern because I happened to visit the area on business at the time. By 1991, I was up in Scotland living near Kilmarnock and snow from that event was very poor in that area - although much better again above the 150m level out towards the Southern Uplands. It was the following year, 1992, that I moved to near East Kilbride - Strathaven to be exact and there were many good snowfalls there in the 6 years I lived there. Not seen anything decent in England since I moved back in 1998. -- Pete --------------------------------------------------------------- The views expressed above are entirely those of the writer and do not represent the views, policy or understanding of any other person or official body. --------------------------------------------------------------- |
