Last January was brutally cold. Not so sure about that map.

Just out of morbid curiosity how are the anomalies measured over the arctic? Is it satellite generated or is the data filled in via nearest sensors?

The world is at +1.3 to +1.4°C compared to the pre-industrial baseline. Chances are that future warming will probably double this number by the end of the century. But the next 1.3°C will almost certainly be worse than what we’ve already had.

You could actually shrink the blue blob down to the size of the Beltway (2 pixels wide) and it would have the same policy effect.

Some south facing lawns/hills have some bare spots but as expected this is a very resilient snowpack because of how much water is in it.

Yeah we’re just having some fun. Fossil fuel Fridays…Friday the 13th edition

yeah, and the other thing, that sun sitting on the top of the planet look up in the arctic is still 30 below 0 F. This is all an integration over relative climatology - it's not linear in dimension. Definitely the kind of post that starts fights among the razor sharp analytic users of social media Americana muah hahahaha Seriously though ... take a region that probably climo-hovers around -20 C in winter, and inject that kind of climo-relative warm anomaly, the difference might just be 20 feet of snow or whatever AI exaggerated depth that was ... just sayn'

mm, the irony is that these cold anomalies, relative to the whole, are happening where the industry is most guilty of anthropomorphic contribution to CC. nothing else - whether we are using our phones or PCs ... so what. No one is judging anyone on either side; the post is purely for the other irony.

Pretty wild seeing such dramatic positive anomalies over Kamchatka while also knowing the gigantic snowstorm they got out there a few weeks ago. Weather vs climate in a microcosm. Extreme begets extreme

It actually was that way/result in Dec, too. In fact, going back 240 months... something > 1/2 of all month that or something similar has taken place. Despite the so-be-it reality that our temperatures have increased faster than anywhere else in the lower 48 ( Climate Change) in the last 30 years that cold node wobbling around the eastern mid latitude continent, either over it or near enough by to wonder, has taken place. I find that interesting... like, "Gaia" is turning up the heat on the humanity frogs, hoping they don't notice until it's too late and they're boiled and dead. You know, another way to laugh about it ... using the clean setting on the pre-conventional ovens ... basically kiln the filth to ashes.

Always sad seeing the season end. Hate February just doesn’t work often anymore for anyone outside the mountains. I am thankful for a cold winter and 3 accumulating events. Still have one last pile holding on from my driveway

It looks like dry weather again for the next 2 weeks and this week was dry bummer

My question is how hard is it to drive in places like this without spending 60K on truck. Could someone just stick studded tires on say a Camry and be ok up there? Low of 22 in Columbia.

Define Irony, bunch of guys on a meteorology forum who use their phones and computers to make weather predictions and to complain about fossil fuels, while their phones and computers are powered by fossil fuels....

12z ICON EPS even closer and still interesting.. everything else pretty meh

Snowpack still (realtime) evident on the satellite loop, we'll see how much is intact by Tue pm / wed Am when the area could see the first 50s since mid Jan.

Low of 10 here with 10" at the stake. That said, the snowpack is covered in pine needles/ twigs from the wind not to mention the growing accumulation of deer debris, both solid and liquid.

This is the first time in 60+ years on Long Island that a 6” snowpack has lasted 10 days or more with only 28.6” of seasonal snowfall so far. Previous years had 46” to 68” inches of snow. So this is the best extended 6” snowcover for a winter with only average snowfall.

Wolfie just hit a moose seeing that while riding to Allagash.

This is actually the highest number of days since Winter 2014-2015 (55 days). Winter 2020-2021 had 32 days.

Morning low of 11°. Day 60 with snow cover beating winter of 2020/2021 which was the last winter with above average snowfall, 59 inches that winter imby. Still at 43.8 inches for this winter, 5 inches or so below seasonal norm for the entire winter.

Burn those fossil fuels baby. Pump those emissions into my lungs. But omg they’re poisoning us with chemtrails.

I liked SLK’s -29 on St Patty’s in 2014. They did -25 a week later too. Not too many mornings below 0° in April during the ASOS era though.
