I saw an item about the expected blizzard in the eastern USA and a man in
New York gave a comment. The subtitle translated what he said in Dutch and
gave it as 30 cm, before the man had spoken, so I expected him to say that
there would be a snowfall of 12 inches.
However, he said that he expected 30 cm of snow!!! Another drop, in this
case, another snowflake.
It has been cold here, and we have had about 10 cm of snow. There were heavy
snowshowers last night. Ireland, with its warm winter climate had up to 20
cm of snow and freezing weather all day yesterday and today.
However, warm air will reach Ireland tomorrow and Continental Europe next
year, on 2001 January 1 with temperatures rising to 9 degrees. It may start
as snow, even blizzards, then turning to rain. The jet stream is expected to
move south again later next week with pressure rising in the Iceland area,
and this could mean winter returning next weekend.
