It's definitely an interesting stat, but personally I have a problem with sources which draw ideologically charged conclusions (in either direction) from the data. Raw numbers with no conclusions generally tend to be more credible. In this case it's available but I couldn't find the exact -66c in the greenland record low case (I did find -64 though). Also it's -75.3 not -73.5. www.ogimet.com/cgi-bin/gsynres?lang=en&ind=89606&ano=2020&mes=3&day=23&hora=15&min=0&ndays=30Interesting, was that the earliest -100°F on record there? |

^This year was the earliest (March 20).
Here are the daily record lows at Vostok for every day in March (the list hasn't been updated since 2018). Looks like before this year, the earliest -100F was 23 March 2013.

Dawson city is currently at 1°C but will have a low of -31°C on Saturday. Must be bittersweet.

I forgot to post yesterday. The forecast showed heavy snow in Yakutsk, with over 1 foot/30cm expected during the day and the same amount overnight (over 60cm!). Now that the snow is actually happening, the forecast is much lower, but still extremely snowy for Yakutsk this time of year. Will it actually snow this much?   |

The article nicely balances out the AGW hysteria caused by the recent Antarctic record high. And yes, CO 2 is the gas of life, the planet is already greening thanks to its higher levels. Look it up. There's no denying that CO2 is crucial to life on Earth, hence the complete lack of logic from the author by stating in the same paragraph that because it makes up a tiny portion of the atmosphere it supposedly has no blanketing ability. The politicization of any weather-related piece of news - be it from fearmongers or AGW deniers - is an appalling trend. |

With temperatures between -10 and -15C, the snow ratio could be very high. I would guess 10-20cm fell.

While most of us are enjoying the first warm weather of the year, northern Norway is getting record-breaking snow.

sea ice back to low for the time of year after an intense winter polar vortex warded off any warm air (and kept polar air up north) to melt sea ice this winter

^ Has the Arctic had lots of mild temperatures this spring or something? Not to sound like a "denier", but it's very odd that they'd have such low sea ice in Early April relative to average when they just had quite a cold winter.

^Cool, it seems like Longyearbyen also recorded its coldest temperature in 9 years or so, slightly below -30C.
2014 and 2018 struggled to even get below -20C. And 2016 struggled to get below -15C  |

Verkhoyansk had a day that was a whopping 20c above normal on April 8th. The low temperature for the day was 28c above normal. They are now below normal for the past week though. www.pogodaiklimat.ru/monitor.php?id=24266

This is neither a forecast nor an update, just an interesting fun fact I found. Verkhoyansk has an absurd record low of -57c for the month of April. Compare this with the following April record lows for other extreme locations: -57c on the Greenland ice cap's summit station at 3200m AMSL -49c Eureka, Nunavut -46c Oymyakon -46c Snag, Yukon -45c Seymchan -42c Prospect Creek, AK -41c Yakutsk -41c Mayo, Yukon That might be the coldest April temp ever recorded in the NH, tied with the Greenland summit. Its legitimacy may be questionable though, being from 1896. www.pogodaiklimat.ru/monitor.php?id=24266 |

It seems like it should be -45 to -50. |

Inukjuak reached 1.9C on the 27th, their first above freezing weather of the year. Their last time above freezing was November 20th. I think April 27th is late because the page with the forecast says the average is 0/-10 today. Cape Lopatka, despite only having a single night below -10C, has yet to record above +3.3C, which was on March 12th. The entire month of April, at 51N and sea level, had a max of 2.1. The coldest temperature was -3.1. Is this station real?
For comparison, first above-freezing temperature in some other cold places. Cape Lopatka January 1st Svalbard Airport - January 9th. Then March 23rd
Iqaluit April 24th
Barrow is still waiting. It reached 31F in mid-March. Eureka, Resolute, Alert, etc - northern Nunavut hasn't come close to freezing yet
Yakutsk March 25th Ojmjakon April 9th Delyankir (Siberia) April 26th
Norilsk March 15th Tiksi April 10th Vize Island (79N) April 21st Dates may be off by one day, since ogimet uses UTC instead of local time Also I just noticed that Barrow averaged -19/-33F in February, with a max of 0. 12F below normal. nowdata.rcc-acis.org/pafg/ |
