fantasy snow threats more or less disappearing from the models, we done with snow until next season?

Thanks, Don! This tells me that Yellowknife won’t be as cold this month as it was in March of 1964. Unlike 2026, that month was post El Nino, opposite of 2026. That month was also quite cold further N, N of 80N (<-30C): Compare that to the current March so far, which is ~-20C or >10C warmer!!

This winter needed like one more 20"er to make high-end in my eyes. ...or at least a 1 foot, anyway. There were a few opportunities, but winter 2025-2026 kept missing the open net to seal it's place in interior SNE winter-lore. Instead it was winter-bore for the final month.

As I get older, I'm finding winter is a grind when there is nothing really to track...aka no snow. So a winter like that would certainly be appreciated by me. Just a prolonged cold season.

I feel like if we can dodge the super-status next year, we could holdover this cool east/warm west alignment and get a 2002-2003 type of season.

Yeah I figured you'd get it. A much needed good winter to sooth the soul, though.

Beautiful sunshine today. It’s amazing how much nicer 40 degrees feels when it’s not cloudy or too windy.

I mean stein relative to other areas...not that it's actually been bone-dry...but even the screamer was much less than areas to the south...I had well under an inch, like .74", I think.

Here's Yellowknife's coldest March: https://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/monthly_data_e.html?hlyRange=1953-01-01|2013-01-17&dlyRange=1942-07-01|2013-01-16&mlyRange=1942-01-01|2007-11-01&climate_id=2204100&Prov=NT&urlExtension=_e.html&searchType=stnName&optLimit=yearRange&StartYear=1840&EndYear=2026&selRowPerPage=25&Line=0&searchMethod=contains&Month=3&Day=23&txtStationName=yellowknife&timeframe=3&Year=1964 That translates into a monthly mean temperature of -17.6°F.

Didn’t you get a lot of rain from the screamer?

I don't have my records in front of me, but that deluge on early Monday AM totally missed me...it was just a few snow showers.

Stein? How much ?

it's so over

jelly

Sure seems like it is going to be a long summer out there.

Stein up here.

Saw this being circulated around but can't find the actual dataset - anyone know how the author came up with these #'s?

Although you can plant the cold tolerant vegetables like broccoli and lettuce now. I'm planning on starting my vegetable garden tomorrow.

All it’s been doing is dumping rain this month

No but the nearby sites were all 50-58”…Weare, Francestown, Greenville, and Bradford.

Yes I'm out shoveling stone to put in my lane came in now for lunch and I see the temperature is only 39. I thought it was warmer then that. That March sun is doing wonders. Today despite the temperature and virtually no wind is turning into a beautiful day. To me yesterday sucked with that cold and wind. Better days with heat and humidity are coming...sometime.

Wow, I’m less than half of that.

You have their data from March 2001?

29 this morning. Hard freeze expected again Friday night and Saturday high around 42. Last freeze here is usually end of March/early April. So figure a few more weeks before growing season begins
