    It would appear that the totalitarian facscist regime whom have made this forum their own little clique including ' the moderator' have difficulty with scientific appraisal. allow me to simplify my ascertains

    A baroclinic zone should result in rising motion due to density differences. This will result in atmospheric condensation and precipitation manifesting in the emergence of 2. 6-sided crystalline aggregates being gravitationally forced to the surface. The horizontal pressure gradient force is quite tight.leading to in flow and horizontal vorticity  beeing tilted into the mesocylone. The formation of Condensation at a spherical contour equating to 4.4.446frw will occur upon condensation nuclei as the parcel lifts to a margin of 21.clZ, cools adiabatically and Sensible heat and a high vapor pressure of water molecules produce extremely high theta-E values.

    What was that winter like ?

    I seem to recall that Christmas 1978 was mild and wet, with floods on St Stephens day. Then in the period between Xmas and the New year it became severely cold and snowed, with burst pipes abounding and the floods freezing. New Years day '79 remains the lowest Jan temp in NI at -17.5C, while Met.ie has the lowest air temperature recorded in the 20th century as -18.8°C at Lullymore, Co. Kildare on 2nd January 1979.

    It then snowed several times in January and on and off until April.
    The Irish Times archives reported people cut off in Wicklow on 12 Feb and reports on 3 April 1979 that the Met Office said that "Much snow fell during March", while two days later they reported that "Snow hits many parts of the country"!

    So the one line answer is "Bloody cold"

    Yes this is our own little clique so feck off we don't like outsiders impinging on our space, especially when they have nothing of value to contribute.

    Living in the UK at the time, I remember trying to get to work on a moped and finding myself in a 3m snowdrift, this was on the third route I tried all the others were even more impassible!

    I was riding along OK then suddenly dropped a couple of metres as I then realised that I was riding along the top of the snow drift and not on the road at all, gave up and went home! :p

    Don't despair. The mild fiends can feel smug for now, but soon they will weep, weep uncontrollably, when the beast from the east says hello in the first week of January, likes the cut of the place, and decides to stay for a few weeks :D

    Sounds brilliant alright.

    Winters such as 1979, prove if we get a potent cold spell, with deep snow cover, the stronger sun and its position in the sky during February can be easily counteracted under the right conditions. So those of you who think snow in February is always a waste, think again!

    I have to say I enjoy reading this forum but someone needs to get a grip of the mods. Banning humour and discussions about weather sites they are involved in.

    Is that you Captain?


    This thread is for people interested and knowledgable about (winter) weather, if filled with rubbish posts it becomes of no use.

    There are rules that must be followed when posting, and which are accepted by a user when registering. These include rules on trolling and provocation, and also include back-seat moderating, so I would suggest you go and have a read of them too.

    just a question, if we get snow in feb and if it turned out to be like 79 would the snow be wetish as it tends more to be in feb, or would it be more like december last yr with that powder ski snow as i lik to call it do you think.

    just wondering if the time of the year is a factor of the type of snow that we get sorry im still a learner

    If we get an airmass from a really could source(say siberia), that isn't greatly modified on the way, then the snow will be dry.

    For example, the winters of 1947 and 1963; there was tons of powdery snow throughout the month of February

    Su campu can probably provide a more comprehensive answer

    It's one thing to use humour to impart knowledge and generate discussion, which some users do here very well, but that man or a woman seem to be just on a wind up mission which is inevitably going to become tiresome and annoying to a lot of users.

    More likely will shiver uncontrollably....

    The weather forecasts are so conflicted from one another at the moment. It's really hard to know what will happen.
    Hoping this forecast will come true though.
    Nothing like a white December :)
