LOWS NEARING -40 SWEEP RUSSIA

As 'our betters' in Glasgow bemoan the impacts of global warming in, among other places, Siberia: "the planet's last great wilderness", northern Russia has actually been experiencing extraordinary lows for the time of year.

On October 31, -36.8C (-34.2F) was registered in Delyankir.

The infamous Verkhoyansk logged -36.6C (-33.9F).

A frigid -36.4C (-33.5F) was observed in Susuman.

While Oymyakon took the cherry with a reading of -38.9C (-38F) on Nov 1 — almost 10C below the seasonal average

Winter is coming … and you know what that means.
C. J. Hopkins:
No, GloboCap has no choice at this point but to let loose with every weapon in its arsenalshort of full-blown despotism, which it cannot deploy without destroying itself

Think so, when they pulled the trigger there was no stopping the bullet from leaving the chamber. It's all out in the open, a reinvigorated pathology mixing with growing planetary geological tensions, environmental whether system imbalances, and cosmic influences - many types and possibilities.
 
From electroverse.net - 11 FEET of snow has already fallen at a ski resort in Alaska since Oct 1st with more extremely heavy snow (12 FEET over 2 days) forecast to fall according to a November 1st youtube report (see below).

Alyeska Resort in Girdwood has started its snow season in jaw-dropping fashion.

Officially, Alaska's largest ski resort begins recording its annual snowfall on October 1, but this year historic falls hit earlier than usual with 13 inches "unofficially" settling on September 23:

For historical data consistency, we officially start recording our annual snowfall on October 1 each year. After the storm last night, we are unofficially sitting at 13" 😁 ⛄ pic.twitter.com/ifaCosrD1E

September's snowstorm was a mere taster of things to come. Since that official start date of Oct 1, a whopping 136 inches (11.3 feet) of global warming goodness has accumulated at the top of the mountain (to Nov 1). Breaking down the numbers - data courtesy of alyeskaresort.com— 22 inches of that fell within the last 24 hours, with the 'snow depth' at the summit currently standing at an astonishing 67 inches.

"We got pounded," said one Girdwood local in an email to me.

"[This is] the most snow I have seen in my 37 years around here," they added.

Temperatures across The Last Frontier have held cooler than the average in recent months. This is thought to have been brought about by "much more sea ice in the Chukchi and East Siberian Seas northwest of Alaska," according to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with ACCAP/IARC at UAF:

October 2021 brought much more #seaice in the Chukchi & East Siberian Seas northwest of Alaska than the past few years, as seen in the median daily concentration for Oct 2018-21 from high res AMSR2 passive microwave data, courtesy U. Bremen. #akwx #Arctic @Climatologist49 @ZLabe pic.twitter.com/h5GLghr3So

Moreover, and as was the case last season, a lingering anomalous chill contributed to Alyeska holding onto its snowpack into the summer — as reported by climatologist Brian Brettschneider, snow depth on the mountain was still at 98 inches in late May.

Alaskans brace for a record 12 feet of snow in two days
The snowiest place in Alaska could become the second snowiest as an atmospheric river is forecast to dump up to 144 inches of snow on the Chugach Mountains.

About the heavy snowfall...

In Alaska, and other places for that matter... It is often the case that these places that have these exceptional snowfalls - always experience heavy snowfalls. That's why they put ski resorts there.

So, if you see articles about deep snow at Alyeska, or places in California like Donner Pass, ect., it is in places where heavy snow is common.

I live about 50 miles from Alyeska, and there is only trace amounts of snow on the ground left over from our two modest snowfalls. And it is between 35°F and 40°F - which seems above average, but not too far from normal.

As far as cooler than normal, that might be the case in Fairbanks, where UAF is, which is historically very cold, and so that too is not extraordinary.

So, Alaska is a large state with varied weather, and while it seems extraordinary, this news of the weather is happening in places where you would expect it. So it seems a little hyped, given the locations.

The question can be asked however if this amount of heavy snow common for the time of year (late Oct/early Nov) in the region? (Granted that it's happening at higher elevations).
 
Dutch weather site writes that the conditions preceding winter are similar to those from 1962. The year 1962-63 saw the coldest winter (also known as the 'Big Freeze of 1963'). They write that in 1962-63 "there was ice on the North Sea (up to 4 kilometers from the coast), the major rivers were frozen over and on the IJsselmeer (lake) there was an ice layer of 80 centimeters that could hold thousands of cars." The conditions are also similar to those from 2010, when the country experienced a cold December with lots of snow. So we may experience another 'big freeze' and/or at least lots of snow. It's just a prediction, of course, but thought it was interesting to mention!

We had a freak snowfall in the middle of Sept., and that was newsworthy because the trees still had all their leaves and a couple inches of heavy, wet snow caused them to slump and cause widespread power outages. But aside from that, the season is timely and if anything, warmer.
Is it common? It might be early, and a little much, but not a surprise. The area is known for avalanches that often close the main highway. The highway dept. often shoots cannons to create avalanches before the snow builds up too much - averting much larger ones.
The area is also near Whittier - a military post whose location was chosen because it was always enshrouded in cloud cover - making it a secret from Japanese planes during WWII.
 
So now those recently discovered "atmospheric rivers" are going to be dumping snow? Hoo boy! Things are most definitely getting interesting.
Kinda sorta, the term “atmospheric river” has been used occasionally since the 90’s. It used to be called the “Pineapple Express” a name that’s has recently been out of favor. Probably something to do with pineapples being offended ...
:whistle:


During the autumn and winter months the flow of moisture from the Pacific Ocean, via the jet stream that passes over Hawaii, has always delivered a huge amount of precipitation to the west coast. Here is a older non politically correct photo with the old term:

There was a recent front called a cyclone bomb,stalled off shore mid way between the Vancouver islands and Alaska, and that disturbance seemed to split the river of moisture in two and a large flow curled up, and hit the cold atmosphere of upper Alaska.
At least, that’s what I deduced from watching the pattern over the last few weeks.

Mountain areas are interesting, providing such valley to valley vast differences while attracting their own weather.

In terms of snowfall amounts, in Alaska and elsewhere, some areas have very high standard measures for roof trusses (pounds per square foot) on account of this; somewhere reading it was around 340 + pounds per square foot in some areas of Alaska, while Texas might be 20 pounds per square foot, it tells a story - that is over the long run of a season, too. So agree with treesparrow, that those early amounts seem somewhat anomalous as there is a lot of possible buildup to come through the winter.

If you can, keep an eye out up there for this, Metrist. It would be interesting to know what takes place and where. Here is the Alaskan snow dept day to day site, and despite the forecast above, it does not show big hits as of yet, yet localized might be different.

Perhaps this comment in the last session may have crossover with snow:

Q: (nicklebleu and his wife): It has been said that wind has decreased in recent times. Is that true?

A: In some places. Has increased in others. Also it is more compacted.

Take compacted to mean densely localized (and increased).
 
My mother always says (that the old people said :-) ) that a tit bird is a bringer of the winter: when you see tits coming near the house - the winter is coming.

Here is photo of a green tit so you know what kind of bird I´m talking about. They are one of my top favorite birds!

Well, not only that I see a lot of tits on my window and on my balcony and listen to their argues for weeks now, today one came in the apartment through the opened window. The window was crack open and she came in!

I almost cried when I saw her as she was flying back and forth, slamming in the window, while in the mean time - another tit came to check on her, watching her trough the window.

My man opened the window in a slow and steady pace, so she is not disturbed more than she is and she flew of.

My heart still hurts when I remember how much stress she had.... :-(

Talk about signs of the winter! ❄️
