The results showed that this heavy snow process is a combined consequence of surface inverted trough, eastward returning current and Plateau short-wave trough; the eastward returning cur- rent provided a cooling cushion to southwest warm and wet current. In the snow process, the thermal instability condition was weaker, but there was strong dynamic instability, and the dif- ference of wind vector in middle level was about 21.0 m∙s−1. The main water vapor source of this snow process was southwest warm and wet current in front of Plateau trough; meanwhile, in low- er level there was a water vapor convergence center and the returning current was moist air, so it helped vertical tra
