✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Daily values of the percentage frequency of snow‐lying have been computed for 17 Swedish and 7 Finnish stations. A relationship has been established between these frequencies and the dates of the beginning and end of the period with mean temperature below freezing point. Using this relationship, a method is described for estimating the frequency of snow‐lying on any date anywhere in Sweden and Finland.

A tendency is mentioned for southern Sweden to be less frequently snow‐covered about the middle of February than in late January or late February.

## Abstract The basic characteristics of snow cover occurrence in eastern Europe are described. For each month from October to May the range of ‘active’ snow‐cover areas in Europe was determined. The boundary criterion for ‘active’ regions was adopted as snow‐cover probability of between 10 and 90%
