An update on snowstorm

, , , ...

Hey ya'll, I'm really sorry for taking so long to update the snowstorm story, but I had and still have really loads of stuff to do. So anyway, I'm gonna translate you some information about the cyclone we had from www.meteo.lt so here it goes:

Between the 24th and 25th of November Nida had a really snowy night while a small-sized cyclone was whirling above it. The heaviest snow fall was in the evening and at 8-11pm and the layer of wet snow got as thick as 36mm - during the first 3 hours there was 20cm of snow and during the whole day - 36cm. This is the biggest snow increase since 1936. The heavy snow storm lasted till the morning and was lead by thunderstorm. The amount of precipitation during the night - 66mm. In the morning measured coat of snow was 45cm thick. This reached the catastrophic meteorological phenomenon criterion.

Well, in my city the coat of snow reached only 5cm (I live in opposite side of Lithuania). Now the snow is gone in all Lithuania and we're waiting for some more. I don't think we'll get snowy Christmas this year... By the way, you can find some photos of Nida after the snowstorm here. And here:
