What's the weather where you are?

It's snowing in Moscow now, and I remembered that I've been wanting to write about this winter for a long time. The fact is that over the past 2 months of winter, snow in Moscow has already completely disappeared 2 times. At the beginning of December, everything was as usual, both frost and snow, but then it melted and fell just before the new year. We celebrated the New Year traditionally, but after a couple of days the snow melted again and it was gone all January. The temperature was often above zero too, and sometimes it rained. Rain in Moscow in January is very unusual, and the whole situation with temperature, snow, etc. is generally unusual. I don't remember a winter like this.

Сейчас в Москве пошел снег и я вспомнил, что уже давно хотел написать о нынешней зиме у нас. Дело в том, что за прошедшие 2 месяца зимы снег в Москве полностью сходил уже 2 раза. В начале декабря все было как обычно, и мороз и снег, но потом он растаял и выпал только перед самым новым годом. Новый год мы встречали традиционно, но через пару дней снег опять растаял и его не было весь январь. Температура часто тоже была плюсовая и иногда шел дождь. Дождь в Москве в январе это очень необычно и вообще необычна вся эта ситуация с температурой, снегом и пр. Я что то не припомню подобной зимы.

This is a second winter in Serbia with almost no snow. There was a snow in December, after which it quickly melted and after that nothing, which is also very unusual. Last year it was very bad for agriculture because after snowless winter came the rainless summer. Looks like another weird year is in front of us.

Here in west Wales and over the UK in general there have been cool northerly winds for about the last 2 weeks or so. In compensation we have enjoyed clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine (but some light frosts overnight). The result of all that light is a good early display of spring flowers (including some very early bluebells in the last few days) plus an early emergence of an orangetip butterfly.

Anyway why bother with the first cut of the year for your lawn if you have a magnificent yellow carpet of lesser celandine (Ficaria verna) covering the ground - like this:

Snow on 6th of April. Sudden cooling will have temperatures halved for a couple days. Three hours ago I did fasted sprinting in the sunny countryside.
Although our meteorologists say the weather will warm [back] up soon - as it was running for a couple weeks - I expect it won't turn into this by next weekend:
:cool:

Snow on 6th of April.
Everything is the same, only we have records again. They say that the last time what is happening with temperature and precipitation was almost thirty years ago. By the way, the first news is about some precipitation. It should be understood that in this case it was only snow, rains was not.
In Moscow, up to 38% of the monthly precipitation rate fell in a day, the forecaster said.

MOSCOW, April 7 - RIA Novosti. Up to 38% of the monthly precipitation rate fell in Moscow in a day, 10 millimeters of precipitation were recorded at the VDNKh reference weather station, said Evgeny Tishkovets, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, in his Telegram channel.
"About 1/3 of the monthly precipitation rate fell in Moscow per day, more than half in the Moscow region, and 70% in Central Russia. Over the past day, a portion of abnormal precipitation has fallen in the capital region. In Moscow, 10 millimeters were recorded at the VDNKh reference weather station, 13 millimeters at Moscow State University, and 14 millimeters at Baltschug, which is 27-38% of the monthly norm," Tishkovets said.
The forecaster noted that in the Moscow region, the most precipitation fell in Pavlovsky Posad, Lenin Hills, Zheleznodorozhny and Lukhovitsy – 15 millimeters, Serpukhov – 19 millimeters, Mikhnevo -21 millimeters, Cherusty – 22 millimeters, which is 56% of the norm of heavenly moisture.
Wilfand: snowfall in Moscow will increase, it is a record since April 1998
MOSCOW, April 7 - RIA Novosti. The snowfall in Moscow will intensify and last until Tuesday, from half to the whole monthly precipitation rate will fall, the snow cover will grow to 10-15 centimeters, the last time this happened was 27 years ago, Roman Vilfand, scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, told RIA Novosti.
"
"There will be a heavy load of snow in different areas on Sunday. It fell from 4 to 13 millimeters at night. The snowfall will continue on Monday night, and it will increase on Monday afternoon, and even on Tuesday, at least in the morning, there will also be snow," Vilfand said.

According to him, a very large amount of snow will fall in Moscow in three days — from half to full monthly norm in different districts of the capital.
"The snow height will be large — 10-15 centimeters. Snow usually accumulates over three winter months and begins to decrease gradually from the first decade of March. This year, the situation is completely unusual. In early March, the snow came off, and now such a powerful charge of snow has fallen. Something like this happened once, in April 1998," the forecaster added.
He specified that night temperatures throughout the week will be negative - from minus three to minus seven degrees, on some nights — up to minus 8-9 degrees. From Monday to Wednesday, the daytime temperature will be around zero degrees, in the region — up to minus two or minus three degrees.
The meteorologist also warned of snowstorms and icy conditions until the middle of the working week in Moscow.

Все тоже самое, только у нас опять с рекордами. Говорят, то что сейчас происходит с температурой и осадками последний раз было почти тридцать лет назад. Кстати, в первой новости речь идет об неких осадках. Надо понимать, что в данном случае все это был снег.

The same happened in Macedonia. On Saturday, April 5th, it was nice and warm, and the temperature went up to 25C. Just 24 hours later, the next day, we had 20cm of fresh snow and ice, and the temperature dropped to -3C.

This cold wave will last for a couple of days, and then the temperature will go up again
