Isolated wintry showers


Synopsis: behind cold front advection of unstable polar maritime air from NNW. Temperatures at 850hpa -9°C, at 500 hpa -29°C. During the day some isolated wintry showers developed, but none with lasting white cover. Towards the evening a moderate shower of snow turned the landscape a bit "brighter" in my area. All photographs taken at Kampenhout in CET.
