Mothers Day in the UK
2007-03-18 04:06:27 · update #1
It's just a coincidence that it has snowed two years in a row on the UK holiday known as Mother's Day or Mothering Sunday. I live in Baltimore, MD, USA, where it is generally somewhat warmer than the UK, but we had an ice storm two nights ago. Snow isn't that unusual in the UK in March, so there's nothing terribly remarkable about this occurrence.

You say it snowed last year on the same day (Mothering Sunday) but you don't say where you are. If you are in the north of the UK, then it wouldn't be surprising, especially if you are at high altitude! There may be counties/towns in the UK where it did snow last year and hasn't done today (yet).
I don't think coincidence has much to do with it - it's just weather and it's rather changeable but generally getting warmer. If it snows at the end of March then it's because all the physical conditions are right for that to happen.

I once met an old sailor who sailed upon the Great Lakes who told me over a beer. "Seven days before and seven days after March 27, there will be a great storm".
That was twenty years ago. Now with global warming that Median date has shifted one or two weeks earlier.
It all has to do with the northward movement of the Trade winds and the storm tracks northward as summer approaches. The warm air of the south encounter the cold airs from the arctic and the permanent High Pressure circulation of Hudson's Bay.
In the summer the storm tracks are about 57º Latitude in the winter the storm tracks sink on a line through the Texas Panhandle on the south and Denver to the north about 35º Latitude.

Could be a coincidence, or it could be some other factor. I'd need more information to tell with any level of certainty.
I always have some snow on the ground at the end of March, so for me it's the norm.

No such ingredient! God has a plan and a purpose for each thing that occurs! we ought to in basic terms see one piece of the puzzle at a time, yet God knows of the huge image and He can help us positioned our existence puzzle mutually if we in basic terms permit Him help! (and whilst God does it, it consistently finally ends up turning out plenty extra effectual than we ever might have theory it might have if we did it on out very own!)
