    42 years ago tonight was the big blizzard of 82. Sorry about not being able to master posting the actual set up, but the chart looks rather benign at first glance with no defined low pressure system. However the squeeze of Easterly winds blasting over the Irish Sea and its longevity really piled up the snow into huge drifts. Thereafter was very severe frost prolonging the snow depth compared to storm Emma that was thawing from the ground up in particular due to the time of year.

    50th anniversary tonight of a major storm, it qualifies as an ‘exceptional’ event on Met.ie.

    The report on the storm is 29 pages long!

    Half a century ago. I think there was about 3 storms in sequence that month. It's amazing how low the jet appears on approach but then rises over France. A real spawning ground for storms over us.
