Snow Time 2023 (Southern Hemisphere Do Not Interact (jk))

Ok, we’re getting very light, very blowy, very dry snow today, but this view of the Safeway parking lot this morning seemed very ‘Edmonton in December’ to me.

snowing well here and I‘m headed to a Christmas market in a few hours where I’m gonna probably eat a pretzel

@“Gaagaagiins”#p94234 Today there was actually a decent amount of melt, lots of sunlight today meant there were temperatures just above freezing and some surface melt. The driveway is almost completely clear!

It wasn’t enough to get even grass poking through anywhere, though. It’s also forecasted to snow tomorrow. However
 it’s also forecasted to be quite warm tomorrow, and warm the next few days with a shocking high of 7 on Saturday I think.

This sucks actually, I hate snow showers and freezing rain. Like, please make up your mind!

The unseasonably warm weather persisted after this! There was significant melt, enough for grass to poke up out of the snow cover all over the place, and for driveways to melt and clean themselves.

Mind you, it wasn't pleasant. Some of my least favourite weather overall is when it hovers around just above freezing. There is still significant humidity in the air since less of it is freezing and settling on the ground. You can dress for -20C and keep warm by staying active, even just walking. But hovering around freezing is where the moisture in the air just cuts right through clothing. I would take -20C over 1C most of the time.

Thankfully though, it was not too warm _or_ cold enough for freezing rain, and also I don't think water fell outta the sky much in general. So there isn't a whole lot of weird ice cover everywhere, it mostly all kept melting and draining off into the ground or storm drains.

It looks like temps are dropping once again, and there was a bit of a wet, meagre snowfall last night, but more light fluffy beautiful snow during the day. A weather advisory is showing that it's gonna keep snowing and be warm enough tonight to possibly be partly rain, so, it's not quite so cold that we're getting just snow. But it feels like we're officially back into winter again. Might go ask my dad to see if I should shovel a bit tonight so it will be easier for him tomorrow morning when he usually shovels.

Here's a view from the back deck door, showing the light fluffy picture-esque snow from earlier during the day, and our ugly deck. Snow can make this look nice, even!

Well, it’s snowed a couple times since late October so far here in Colorado.

Starting this past Saturday, my weather app had been pushing weather alerts and notifications regarding a major winter storm coming in today.

Well, that storm came in and dropped a whopping 3inches of snow. It looked nice.

I'm cold

Well, we‘re getting some more snow today, so maybe I’ll have a nice new photo of some banal location to share later.

We're headed for a significant cold snap though (lows of around -30C/-22F), meaning it won't be as appealing to go outside in it very much, which stinks.

@Gaagaagiins you're... east of me, right?

@“Karasu”#p95111 @Gaagaagiins you’re
 east of me, right?

Only a couple thousand kilometres or so, I think (I am in Thunder Bay)

snow over santa monica pier

on monday night it was cold enough to snow, but the cold air pushed out the moist air so we just got icy roads. then i hear yesterday that everywhere around us they‘re getting snow, but all we got is a bunch of rain, because the wet air brought with it warm air. that’s how winters go here.

There's a gen 1 blue and white tamagotchi lying at the bottom of this pond, don't ask me how I know that.

@“connrrr”#p95220 legit LOL'd at this

I went to Yosemite for Thanksgiving and there was some snow on the ground. Didn‘t seem like any fresh fallen now
I’ve still never been around fresh fluffy snow. Just that hard packed icy stuff.

Yet another extremely banal view, this time from my garage:

We got that white stuff. It used to be once in every three years by my estimate. Now it’s snowed here every year for 3 in a row.

man, graphics have come a long way since pacman

I can see snow for most of the year but have yet to have any land on me in 2022. Forecast says it’s coming! I moved last year and the place where I live now gets snowed in relatively often so that’ll be fun.

This was the road into the village last year.

Chiming in from Winnipeg, Manitoba. There hasn’t been nearly as much snow as there was last year, and it took till beginning of December for us to hit our first -30 Celsius day! Winter’s been kind to us so far it seems like, hopefully it won’t change!
