A strong storm system moved southeastward across parts of central
Europe Sunday bringing rain from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands
southeastward into Balkans. Heavy snow was falling where temperatures
were cold enough across the region, particularly Meiningen and
Oberstdorf in Germany. Strong winds also accompanied this system with
sustained winds of 47 mph reported in Feldberg, Germany with higher
gusts. Winds in Wendelstein, Germany were clocked at 45 mph.
A storm system brought rain and mountain snow to parts of eastern
Iran, Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and
Kyrgyzstan Sunday. Liquid precipitation amounts generally average in
the quarter to three-quarters of an inch range with locally higher
amounts.
A storm system brought windswept snow, some heavy at times,
across a large portion of western Russia Sunday. Most locations from
Nolinsk to Rostov to Moscow already had an average snow depth of just
over a foot before this storm arrived. Moscow picked up a couple of
inches of new snow while Kalinin picked up about 4 inches as of Sunday
morning, EDT. Snow showers are expected to continue Sunday night into
Monday.
Late Friday into Saturday, a blizzard swept northern and eastern
Iceland unleashing hurricane gusts, heavy snows and blinding
whiteouts. Snowfall at Dalatangi was about two feet, and it was driven
before steady winds of 50-55 mph. Egilsstathir clocked gusts between
65 and 70, and visibility dipped at times to 100 feet.
Drenching rains hit parts of Queensland, Australia, during the
second half of the week. At Cairns, about 11.9 inches of rain fell
within 42 hours ended Friday afternoon, local time. February lies at
the heart of the rainy season here. The monthly average rainfall is
17.6 inches.
