@“Gaagaagiins”#p89230 it‘s been freakishly warm and dry in the pacific northwest. i’m still wearing shorts at night. i heard some polar vortex or other has shut down, and the prediction is warmer overall with sporadic cold snaps that are colder than normal, so i bet we'll get snow eventually, if it ever gets wet.
why, when i were a boy it'd rain for nine months straight. (i'm assuming the voice of an old coot, but it's not that far from true.)
don't know what the world's coming to. shaking my damned head.
No snow for me yet either! Though it has gotten down to the temperatures where it could start to happen - it‘s often been overcast, but no precipitation yet. Coincidentally, just last night I posted a WIP of some music I’ve been working on for a snowy-area in a game, if it might help anyone get in the mood:
@“Funbil”#p89250 gorgeous! Has that Hollow Knight melancholy, almost a palpable white haze about it…really puts me in that snow mood. Gosh, I love snow so much…feels like it’s going to be a while before we see any, but I could use some quality music to tide me over:

Anyone else want to post some more snow tracks to tide us over until we can make some snow tracks of our own?
I must admit that it‘s only really stopped feeling like summer for a couple of weeks where I live, or at least I perceive minor temperature drops less than others, so it barely feels like it’s autumn yet. I don‘t imagine it’ll snow until at least December but in recent years we've had snow in as late as February and March so who knows when the UK will come to a standstill next?
@“pasquinelli”#p89234 yeah I‘m near vancouver and it hasn’t rained here in a few months, and has felt like summer (especially with all the wildfire smoke forcing us to keep the windows closed) until just about… today. seems like we‘re getting rain over the weekend and I’m over the moon with excitement.
we've been getting abnormal amounts of snow (as in, any amount) the past few years so i wouldn't be surprised if that starts showing up soon
The snow's been a bit farcked down here. This mountain has a ski field and the whole expected ski season late July to September was pretty bad. So bad in fact that the ski field operator has gone into voluntary administration. (the last two seasons were affected by lockdowns which didn't help).
@“wickedcestus”#p89409 yeah, my wife just told me this afternoon that we‘re forecasted to get rain starting this weekend for the next ten days. maybe i’ll get some worms in my compost pile.
PNW checking in from the South Salish Sea. The rain has come and it finally feels like Fall, although for a couple weeks now it‘s been foggy in the morning which was pretty cool before all the wildfire smoke got real bad and made it hazy all day. I assume we’ll get snow again this year, but I couldn‘t tell you why. It wasn’t a regular occurrence in my youth but it feels like one or two snows that stick around have been happening every year. Our first real frost feels imminent.
