Roger Smith Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Just in case anyone wants context, these snowfalls covered approximately 5% of the UK and affected about 1% of the human population. The main areas affected are in eastern Northern Ireland and the "Peak District" which is the south end of the Pennines, a range of hills east of Manchester. In both of those places, heavy snow drifted and there are major impacts. In other places such as the West Midlands around Birmingham, there were moderate impacts from 8-12 inch snowfalls in some places. Almost everywhere else, it was hit or miss small amounts of snow. The main item of interest is that this March could be the coldest since 1962 or even 1919 depending on whether it finishes below 2.7 C (in the CET record). That is about normal in parts of the Great Lakes region. The coldest March in that 3.5 century period was 1.0 C back in the Maunder, and it was 1.9 in 1883, unlikely to be beaten this year. Currently there are about even odds for the week (25th to 31st) to finish top three or more accurately bottom three in the CET for the period, at about 1 C. There have been some persistent light snowfalls around Dublin today and some reports of 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) which is very unusual for that location so late in the season.

New England Storm Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Been another cold year for our friends across the pond. Heavy snowfalls are kind of rare with the climate in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
