Is the ground acting as under floor heating?
AH wrote: When I was in Prague in November, it was under never over about 1 degree, and mostly was under freezing for the whole weekend.. It also snowed all weekend, not hard but mostly consistant light snow with some moderate falls.. and to my surprise, even after 2 days of snow, virtually none of it had settled - I couldn't believe it.. this was around the time that some parts of the UK got a dusting. Sublimation perhaps? Certainly seen that in very dry air, with snow disappearing to leave dry ground. Whereas this morning's stuff disappeared to leave the ground looking like it had rained, so I'd call it melting, despite the low air temperature. Edmund |

Is the ground acting as under floor heating?
When I was in Prague in NOVEMBER, it was under never over about 1
degree, and mostly was under freezing for the whole weekend.. It also snowed all weekend, not hard but mostly consistant light snow with some moderate falls.. and to my surprise, even after 2 days of snow, virtually none of it had settled - I couldn't believe it.. this was around the time that some parts of the UK got a dusting. In fact, on the train to Stansted from London there was snow lying. I very much doubt that more snow fell here overnight than did in Prague the whole weekend, but like I said.. no accumulation.. The key word here may be "November". It is now LATE February, and the sun is, now, MUCH higher in the sky. Were you in Prague in early, mid, or late November? Frosts are also MUCH more common in spring than in autumn, due to the diurnal equinox, but also due to March being the coldest month up in the Arctic. D. |
