Late January 1910 snowstorm

[Weather-history]

The second half of January 1910 was colder and more wintrier than the first half as a northerly flow developed. This brought severe frosts and snowfalls but the most notable event was when a low pressure developed to the south of Ireland and deepened engaged with the cold airmass producing heavy snowfalls across most parts of the UK. To the south of the low, snow turned to rain but across northern England and Ireland, it remained as snow creating severe disruption. It was the worst snowstorm to hit Dublin since February 1895.
