mayjawintastawm Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 2 hours ago, frontranger8 said: It seems like this pattern has been a bit more extreme version of what occurred in 1933-34 and 1980-81, both also -ENSO winters. 1933-34 remains Denver's warmest winter on record. Interesting. Not that I'm real big on cycles, but 1933-80 was 47 years and 1980-2025 was 45. Hypothesis: La Niña is necessary but not by itself sufficient for very, very warm winters. Now we need to figure out what the other main ingredients are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnster Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Is this extreme pattern a result of weather modification or solar geoengineering projects gone awry? Just asking for a friend . I'm only aware of smaller weather mod efforts like cloud seeding done years ago,, but you have to wonder. I mean, the high temperature records broken this winter, and especially this latest heat wave, are smashing records not just breaking them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the overall pattern is not unprecedented, it's just amplified. See previous winters cited, then add on some AGW. In addition, it makes sense from a climatological perspective as the persistent pattern also produced Juneau, Alaska's snowiest winter on record, one of the coldest on record for Fairbanks, and some of the coldest temps in Canada in several decades.

eyewall Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 My concern for you all is the snowpack being at all time record lows in many spots across the West and what that will mean for water supply and fires. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gallopinggertie Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It has been absurdly snowy this month in Juneau, Alaska (upwards of 6 feet of snow in March), in fact they have now set a new record for snowiest winter! https://www.ktoo.org/2026/03/23/juneau-breaks-march-snowfall-record-but-not-the-winter-record-yet/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted Saturday at 04:16 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:16 AM Well, it's April. 26.2" snow this season (15th out of my 16 winters here, after 2011-12), may not be over yet but time to start a new thread for the "warmer half" of the year.

smokeybandit Posted Saturday at 01:31 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:31 PM About 22", way way below normal for my back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bch2014 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Looks like we’re going to get slammed with coastal rain and Sierra snow here over the next five days. Good news for fire season and keeping the hillsides green for a bit longer here in Santa Barbara county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
