Snow total for the Kingston, ON region
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... Bob |

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.

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. -- John Hall "Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin" attributed to Sir Josiah Stamp, a former director of the Bank of England |

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. Bob |

The chinook winds in western Canada only occur in the winter. I think they can occur at any time of the year, when a moist airstream is forced to rise by the mountains and lose some of that moisture as rain, before being warmed as it descends the lee-slope. But the warming effect is small by Canadian standards: normally no more than 2-3C, perhaps 5C at most. -- John Hall "Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin" attributed to Sir Josiah Stamp, a former director of the Bank of England |

Jim, the charter for the group says: "This group is essentially for the discussion of daily weather events, chiefly affecting the UK and adjacent parts of Europe, both past and predicted." Note "chiefly" rather than "exclusively". In reference to this, the FAQ says: "It is worth pointing out that the area embraced by the phrase 'adjacent parts of Europe' has grown to include Australasia and North America! As long as it's interesting weather, and within the context of the rest of the Charter, then that has come to be accepted as OK!" I don't think anyone can deny that Bob's weather is "interesting", as indeed are his posts, in my opinion. -- Steve Loft Sanday, Orkney. 5m ASL. http://sanday.org.uk/weather Free weather station softwa http://sandaysoft.com/ |

I've visited your area in both summer and winter (even soared over it in a glider-but that's another story). Impressive weather with summer heat and thunderstorms and winter cold and snow-experienced them both over there. As I recall the 'just who can post on here' issue has surfaced before on USW but can't be bothered to look for it. In the meantime I look forward to your next wintry report from Ontario. I also appreciate the reports from Athens and Brussels as well.

... Along that line, I am curious about the occurrence fohn winds in Scotland. Is such a weather phenomenon possible in the mountains up there? I think a föhn effect in the lee of the Scottish mountains was apparent as recently as last Monday. On that day - with a strong roughly WSW flow - the mildest places in the UK were in NE Scotland, e.g. 12.1°C at Kinloss on the south side of the Moray Firth. Colin Youngs Brussels |

Colin Youngs Brussels I suspected that SW would need to be present for a fohn effect in Scotland. I went to Wikipedia and I read about the Moray Firth. I didn't realize that the bay along the NE coast of Scotland is the Moray Firth. I always thought that a firth was more like an inlet, as in the Firth of Forth. It makes sense that a fohn effect would happen here, at a place like Inverness, with a SW wind. Bob |

Absolutely. *And that goes for Yannis and Colin too.
Couldn't agree more. Keep posting Bob, I read your posts with interest (Colin and Yannis too) It adds some variety to the NG, I find your posts on your "Normal climate" fascinating, if we had a week of your average winter climate the UK media would consist of little other news. Glad to hear your feeling better. BTW if you read this...when do you normally get your last winter/spring snowfall?? All the best, Ian, (Raunds, Northants) 55 miles North of London.* |
