  1. Reported that March in Cornwall was the coldest since 1962 (which was a very cold year).
    There was extensive snow in February and March.
    Snow seems more local this month (so far?), but weather doesn’t seem delightful.

    Tuesday 15TH May, Police reported snow on the roads in Cornwall. The snow is thought to have hit the St Columb area near Newquay.

    SEVERE weather across west Cornwall left homes without electricity as power cables were brought down on Tuesday night. The high winds were causing problems until yesterday afternoon, with 70 homes still without power in Carn Brea, Pool.
    also reported that hundreds of homes across the region were affected by the power failures, including at St Keverne on the Lizard, St Buryan, Mousehole, Newlyn and Penzance, where 100 homes in the Heamoor area had no electricity – live cables carrying up to 53,000 volts and 11,000 volts were said to be cut off.
    Power Co. reported its team was working in “dangerous conditions” with winds of up to 70mph and heavy rain.

    Gale force gusts and big swells also kept Falmouth coastguard busy. The coastguard rescue team were called to a report of a square rigged vessel around the foot of the cliffs at Stack Point. Once on scene they found out that the vessel was in fact a garden gazebo.

    Watch out for roaming gazebos!

  3. I hope readers are watching the drama unfolding in Alaska where the Nenana River ice breakup, where records stretch back every year to 1917; only has about a day to go to make an all-time late record.

    I like the way we are hearing about this in the main-stream-media; who we know have been all over this. Just found this from the late John Daly

  4. The cold UK weather continues: www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/05/20/may-bank-holiday-weather-forecast_n_3306142.html?utm_hp_ref=uk

    Note the development of a huge difference between NS and Baltic SST during the last 20 days.

  5. Without gravity acting to restore the thermodynamic equilibrium which is stipulated in the Second Law of Thermodynamics (which says: “An isolated system, if not already in its state of thermodynamic equilibrium, spontaneously evolves towards it. Thermodynamic equilibrium has the greatest entropy amongst the states accessible to the system”) and thus, as a direct corollary of that Law, supporting (at the molecular level) an autonomous thermal gradient, then …

    (1) The temperature at the base of the troposphere on Uranus would be nowhere near as hot as 320K because virtually no direct Solar radiation gets down there, and there is no surface at that altitude. The planet’s radiating temperature is under 60K because it receives less than 3W/m^2.

    (2) The temperature of the Venus surface would be nowhere near as hot as 730K (even at the poles) because it receives only about 10% as much direct Solar radiation at its surface as does Earth at its surface.

    (3) Jupiter would be nowhere near as hot, even in its core, which receives extra kinetic energy which was converted by gravity from gravitational potentential energy due to the continual collapsing of this gaseous planet. This is why Jupiter emits more radiation than it receives.

    (4) The core of our Moon would be nowhere near as hot as it is thought to be, probably over 1000K.

    (5) Earth’s surface would indeed be perhaps 20 to 40 degrees colder, and the core, mantle and crust nowhere near as hot, maybe no molten material at all.

    Think about it! If you’re not sure why, it’s explained in Sections 4 to 9 and Section 15 here.

  6. A wicked cold snap has hit us across The Ditch as well, not even officially Winter yet. Widespread snow and treacherous roads cancelled all Dunedin bus services and closed many roads, some schools. Flights delayed. Snow down to sea level. A lighter dusting for Christchurch. Heavy snowfalls closed parts of SH1. Snow in Wellington to about 300 metres. Northland experiencing up to 120km gusts and heavy hail. A tornado has removed a roof from a Port Waikato property.

  8. The French can ski in JUNE.
    “A combination of a icy winter and a chilly spring has meant that for the first time ever in the month of June, skiers will have the option of heading to the pistes in the French Pyrénées,
    After recent cold weather, bosses at the ski station Porte Puymorens have taken the exceptional step to reopen the slopes this weekend after they had closed them at the end of the season in April. Spring in France, which forecasters say has been the coldest in 25 years in some parts of the country, has meant the snow, which would normally have melted away by this time of year, is still in abundance.
    At one point in the ski season, stations had to close because there was too much snow.”

  9. Thanks for that tip – – I also enjoyed the account of the Russians 4WD expedition across to Canada.
    Checking google for skiing in June I found this article listing – 10 best ski resorts for late season skiing – so for the Jet-Setters that we know haunt this blog – I will work through the first 5 from the top.
    1. Val Thorens, France – Looks OK still at Val Thorens –
    2. Riksgransen, Sweden – link dead but found this – checked the webcam for Toppstation – snow v patchy.
    3. Åre, Sweden – webcams not hopeful
    4. Tignes, France – Webcam HD Val Claret – 2150 m patchy but looks skiable to a non-expert like me –
    5. Zermatt, Switzerland – webcams for Zermatt and other places too. – plenty of snow at Zermatt (Oberhäusern)

  11. Also its 3pm and some stations inland are reporting temperatures below 8C with plenty of precipitation coming in from due south, so a chance of snow being reported tonight in the wheatbelt.

  12. Checking google for skiing in June I found this article…….

    Posted this before, but if you’re in Japan you could try Gassan for summer skiing. This is the road up to Gassan ski-jo (photo taken in June).

  14. It was clean-up time this Weekend after a wicked weather event when a polar blast swept up through New Zealand bringing extreme frosts. Heavy snowfalls closed many roads as well as the mountain passes, causing power cuts, cancelled flights and school closures, particularly in the South Is., people were advised to stay home.The North Is did not escape, Wellington hit with up to 200km gales, massive 15m waves damaged seawalls and the Cook Strait Inter-Islander Ferry crossings were all cancelled, the ferry broke it’s moorings and had to be moved and anchored. Auckland did not escape, with persistent and heavy hail storms, trees brought down onto houses after lightning strikes which blew out the windows on a dozen nearby homes. Not looking forward to Mid-winter!
