NH Winter/SH Summer 2021-2022 Discussion Thread

Widespread snowfall across Metro Vancouver this morning.

Totals range from a trace along the immediate coastline to 1-2cm across lower elevations (<25m) and 2-8cm further inland and at higher elevations.

Some coastal areas on the east coast of Vancouver Island picked up 20cm.

Meanwhile here in subtropique New Jersey it was nearly 60 F/16 C with showers today.

Breezy with light rain and a temp of 57 F/14 C as of the 7:00PM update. Forecast low of 30 F/-1 C tonight so a pretty decent swing. Only a high of 37 F/3 C forecast for tomorrow. 

High was only 28 (-2 c) today, the first ice day since February.

Overcast skies made it feel very wintry, definitely a big change from the recent warmth, yesterday it was 64 (18 c) and Thursday it was 74 (23 c).

Unfortunately no snow but we might get some at the end of the week.

Vidzeme Highland has had lowest temperatures last night:


Riga this morning:

Not just the coldest day of the month, but the coldest day of all of 2021. The furious start to this winter is a bit surprising, as January is usually colder than December. It is also clear that this cold was concentrated in the eastern and south-eastern parts of my country.
Võru had a low -26.0c, which is the absolute lowest this year. The day was sunny, with fog in the evening and in the morning, which can sometimes be when it is very cold.

Somewhat surprisingly, the national cold record was registered at Tartu station: -27.6c.
Well done, this is quite a large break from the old record for that date, the previous record for that date being -24.3c from 1959.

Tallinn had a low of -20.2c, which is also a record break on that date, the previous record was -18.8c from 1959.

The cold air mass is receding to the east, nothing happened in the more western neighboring cities.

Turku's  low was -20.2c, but the current record for that date is -26.4c from 1980.

Riga's low was -14.8c, which is very far from the record  for that date which is -23.4c from 1959.

However, Latvia still owns the absolute Baltic cold record of 2021, which is -31.0c and was registered in January in Jelgava.

Situation with snow today:




It is interesting that the official amount of snow in Tallinn has significantly decreased. The snow has probably thickened. However, it is one of the snowiest places now: 




At the same time,  Haapsalu, which is 55 miles from it, is  quite snow-free; there is no official snow measurement there:

recent rain melted lots of low elevation snow in Vermont and New Hampshire

notice almost all the snow north of the St. Lawrence River survived well. that's roughly the line of "snow never melts in winter, lasts past March". maybe a bit further north of the river?

It's been cool these past couple days, with afternoon temperatures in the upper 40s °F (~9°C). It's nothing too unusual for this time of year, but given it's been so mild this fall, it feels cold.

Bureau of Meteorology
The heat that has been building over northern WA has made its way over the south-west of the state, where residents can expect the hottest conditions so far this summer.
Perth is on track to hit 40 °C today, its hottest day since 8 January 2021, and many other locations across southern WA will reach the mid-to-high 30s in coming days, which is up to 15°C above average for this time of year.
High temperatures are also combining with gusty winds leading to elevated fire dangers. On Wednesday, fire dangers will reach Extreme levels for western parts of WA, including the Perth Metro. Fire dangers will remain elevated as the heat moves east through the latter half of this week.
