I have checked my unofficial snow records for this winter season.
Including today's snow we've gotten approximately 120cm of snow since
mid-November 2007 (by the end of the day the total may increase to
125cm). The average for the Kingston/Odessa region is 165 to 170cm
annually. A lot of snow melted yesterday with grass showing, but
today's snowsqualls covered up any visible grass again. Thaws cause
the snow depth to fluctuate greatly from deep to shallow to deep...

Fair enough. I understand your comment toward foreigners on this site.
I really should inquire more about UK weather than I do.

Along that line, I am curious about the occurrence fohn winds in
Scotland. Is such a weather phenomenon possible in the mountains up
there?

Bob

P.S. Do I notice a hint of snow envy in your text :-)

I enjoy Bob's posts and see no reason why he shouldn't post here.
OK they get more snow there but why that gauls you says more about you
than it does about anything else.

Bob you don't need to justify yourself to anyone. If someone doesn't
want to read your posts they don't have to, simple really...

Though technically Bob's posts on Canadian conditions are off-topic for
the group, I find them interesting and would regret it if they stopped.
So long as the contents are made clear in the posts' Subject line, so
that those not interested can easily skip them, I don't see that there's
much of a problem.

Yes, I think places like Kinloss and Lossiemouth, on the coast of the
Moray Firth and to the north of mountains, occasionally show evidence of
it. However it seems to be more common in north Wales to the north of
Snowdonia.

I totally agree.
And a subject heading of "Snow total for the Kingston, ON region" could
hardly be confused with being a British related one could it?

Thank you, John.

What weather specific weather conditions would cause these fohn winds?
What time year would they occur in Scotland and in Wales? The chinook
winds in western Canada only occur in the winter.

On a separate, yet related note, maybe the person from the Moray Firth
region (I think there is one) from this group could provide insight.
