Based on the conventional observation data, automatic weather station and T639 forecast products,in terms of the synoptic principle and dynamic diagnosis,the causation of cold wave and the character of snow during 20-23 December 2012 has been analyzed。 The results are as follows:The cold wave occurred when the North European backup ridge broken up southeastwards, leading transverse trough to erect trough which moved southeastwards。Sharp edge of high temperature was about 40癗 which brought the strong decline of temperature and snowfall。The influencing system during snowing was the shear line between cold air mass and warm air mass as well as the mesoscale wind convergence。Water vapor was derived from northwestwards which radial moved and southeastwards which latitudinal moved。There was distinct local character tail condensation snowing and overcast and snowy moment which water vapor derived from the local vertical moving。The results showed that the saturation of moisture conditions in boundary layer were very important for winter snowfall .
