Abstract

On Saturday 2 December 2023, a persistent stream of snow showers affected south Cumbria through much of the day and into the following night, originating from the Irish Sea. As much as 30–40cm of snow accumulated in parts of the South Lakes, unprecedented in modern records according to local long-standing weather observers, and resulted in significant transport and power disruption. This short article examines the meteorological setup responsible and briefly highlights some of the challenges in forecasting snow accumulations from maritime convection.

期刊介绍： The aim of Weather is to act as a bridge between the interests of those having a professional and a general interest in the weather, as well as between meteorologists and others working in related sciences such as climatology, hydrology and geography. Articles and regular features are written for a wide range of readers, from professional meteorologists to amateur weather observers. While technical language and mathematical content are kept to a minimum, Weather also seeks to inform and to give readers an opportunity to update their subject knowledge. Weather is also the ''house journal'' of the Society and seeks to keep the reader up-to-date with Society news and includes meeting and conference reports, a Readers'' Forum series and occasional Viewpoint articles. Photographs of weather events are an important feature of the journal and the Weather Image feature provides an opportunity to analyse a satellite image or photograph. Weather Log is a summary of the weather of each month by means of meteorological data and weather maps.
