    It’s great to see a weather presentation that discusses things in a way all of us can understand but that treats us as intelligent adults. It’s really educational!

      Agreed - it's glorious that whilst we may not have the models and technology, we're also not treated like simpletons.

    Thank you Alex,for another enjoyable Deep Dive.Absolutely fascinating.Really appreciated the explanation on the difficulty in forecasting snow. I was aware about temperatures but forgot about the other elements. I have been getting fed up seeing other media outlets wanting to know exact time/date snow is going to fall,but through the Deep Dive,it is reassuring that it is not always possible to pinpoint with that precise accuracy.Thank you once again.

    I love these deep dives. They're still as exciting as when you guys started doing it some months ago. I know the weather has limited time so you basically just get the minimum of what you need to know and what to possibly expect. These deep dives are in my opinion interesting and I'm often learning something new every few videos. Cheers.

    This deep dive was brilliant. Congratulations Alex on a good presentation. That provided a wonderfully clear explanation of snowfall and yet had the feeling you were presenting it off the cuff without referencing to notes. So you really know your subject to be able to pull this off. Also enjoyed the wider context of what is happening in Europe. Keep up the good work it's getting even better!

  • @FAS1948

    I am reminded of a day in early November, more than 50 years ago, when I walked to work in heavy rain. From the office window, we had a view across a road and a field beyond. We noticed at about 9 o'clock, that it had turned to sleet, and to heavy snow by 10. At midday they took the buses off the road, and by 4 in the afternoon, the town was cut off. We had drivers delivering in neighbouring towns who were unable to get home, and were given shelter in church halls.
    I had gone to work in normal wet weather clothes, and had to walk home in shoes totally unsuited to deep snow. It was lucky that the snow was still soft because although I got home with cold wet feet, it wasn't slippery. By the following morning it had frozen hard, and I woke to the familiar clink of snow chains on passing milk floats. I didn't know much about meteorology, and living on the coast, I relied mainly on the shipping forecast, and it was only later that I was able to connect the physics lesson about latent heat with my experience of the weather.

    A truly excellent Deep Dive! 🎉Very many thanks indeed Alex, so interesting and really informative! 😅 Marvellous to know that out of each cloud comes snow ❄️ …until it passes through the warmer air and then turns to rain, sleet, or freezing rain! I well remember the hazards of that during TBFTE, earlier years too, darned dangerous on the roads and windscreens!
    BTW, I watched a video here on TH-cam last night with the atrocious weather in Ukraine, so frightening for them with the Tsunami-like waves and terrible flooding!!😮 A brilliant DD Alex, very much appreciated 😊

    Great presentation. I have just a few observations concerning the use of colours on the maps to represent clouds and precipitation. I have the impression that on some maps, clouds over the sea are grey and over land are white. Does this mean the cloud structure or characteristics are different? Snow represented as white patches causes some confusion in trying to read the information on the map. I struggle to see the difference between white clouds and white representing snow precipitation. It is even more confusing when white snow showers are shown on satellite maps where towns and densely populated areas (intense light) are also represented by bright white patches. In this video, I struggled to distinguish the show showers over Europe from the white patches indicating populated areas. It is possible to increase the difference between white representing snow and other white features on maps? Snow is a problem to forecast but it seems is also a problem to represent on maps.

  • @bobuk5722
    @bobuk5722 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hi Alex. Thanks for this. A suggestion. I find it a little bit confusing (aka 'makes me think') when the snow maps show both white for cloud cover and white for snow. At least, I think that's what is being shown. I may be wrong! If not, any chance of using zebra stripes or different shading?

    I listen to a podcast out of New York where the hosts begin by saying what their weather is doing, I noticed whenever they had snow, we had it roughly two weeks later... 2021-22 this was incredibly reliable, but yeah, couldn't give you the exact day, but always gave me time to prepare what I needed to! But then the Pacific ocean went and changed its pronouns again (was it el niño this time?) so weather patterns the last few months have been more like 2019-2020, with everything being constantly wet as there are barely any 48 hour periods where there isn't some rain for several months now... so all patterns found in 2021-22 I'm not holding out too much hope for

    Yet another excellent Deep Dive - thank you for these. An odd question - some of the less reputable / amateur weather channels that I used to follow refer to the 18Z model run as the 'pub run'. Why? Is it simply because 1800 is the time people might go to the pub after work? Someone else said it might be because the 18Z run 'gets inebriated' and outputs odd data sometimes - though I can't see the logic in that statement as computer wise all runs are surely the same?

  • @davidgriffiths7696

    On the whole this is translating to bright, sunny weather in SW Ireland. My pv panels produced 1.7 kw hr for the battery bank, and another 1.5 kwhr went into a water tank, producing 40 litres at about 40’C. Excellent results for December.

    Very interesting graphics. Love the freezing-level maps. We live in a frost hollow (bottom of a deep Welsh valley), so we normally get ground frost when the forecast air temperature is 3°C or lower, presumably related to cold air drainage from the surrounding hilltops, which rise to ~300m. So we never park our cars facing upslope!
