This is a tedious back and forth here though, so I'll just move along on this time waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that area and places to your north and west are really in trouble with how dry it has been. Alberta has really been suffering through a prolonged drought.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Smokey skis are the new normal in the summer around here. It stinks (literally) but 20th century style fire suppression might be partially to blame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah nothing you can do but marvel at how drastically things can change YOY in our region. I’ve still had (scant) snowcover imby longer then most in this subforum, haven’t been above freezing since January 5th. It’s still winter here.

Malacka11 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Curious to see how well our snowpack can hold up. To my understanding it looks like past Wednesday, there isn't much in the way of rain coming this way and we look to dodge a serious torch. I can't really recall how quickly 30-40F thaws things out.

At least there's plenty of ice on the many lakes around you to enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primary factors for time to melt / rate of melt are a combo of sustained winds, humidity, sky cover, hours above freezing and to what degree with secondary factors including frost depth and sun angle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will melt pretty quickly once dews creep above freezing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Primary factors for time to melt / rate of melt are a combo of sustained winds, humidity, sky cover, hours above freezing and to what degree with secondary factors including frost depth and sun angle. Throw in the SWE and the temperature of the snowpack going into a thaw. At mid day today, our snowpack had unusually high SWE (1.6" on 6-7" SD at LOT) and in general the temperature across the heart of it was quite cold due to extended cold stretch. Those factors initially make it more resilient, with a warmer snowpack going in more prone to "ripening" faster. There's going to be steady melt but it appears that temps and dew points up in the metro and points west should stay low enough to prevent a nuking of the snowpack over the next several days. That is unless dew points trend higher absent insolation, as it does appear we should stay cloudy through the period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk I was just outside walking the dog, and quite a bit of my snow has gone from the powder you would expect from the recent cold to packable and able to throw snowballs for the dog.
