I still have snow on the ground. Covering everything but less than an inch of slush. Even the not high rainfall totals late this afternoon should melt it all. There was a lot of annoying black ice this morning as it went down to 15°F, helped chill the snowpack. By Thursday, only higher elevations of northern New England will have snow. Will repost a map then. Montreal has almost 2 feet; their winters are cold enough that the snow cover is consistent.  |

Good snow day in Asahikawa. Is it too much to ask for it to snow like that here once a year?  |

There's nothing like waking up to two feet of snow on the ground with heavy snow falling. |

Good snow day in Asahikawa. Is it too much to ask for it to snow like that here once a year? Almost 25 hours later and it's snowing even more heavily in Asahikawa but significantly colder at -7.9C compared -4.2C. I've been monitoring these webcams and the daylight hours seem to see snow much more often than during the night.  |

interesting to see how little snowfall katterjåkk (normally the snowiest place in sweden) has got this winter. practically zero precipitation the last 30 days. all this while sweden as a whole has been extremly snowy.  it has been cold there this month, though. more than 4C below the 1961-1990 average.  |

Wow, it's -11.1°C outside but still a low-pressure system strong enough to bring blizzard-like conditions with basically next to no visibility and the snow is just coming down like crazy.
This is so rare, snowfall at these temps hardly don't exist here and I assume there's only this narrow timeframe at the end of February where the Baltic Sea can be cold enough to enable extreme cold snaps along with low-pressure systems. In December the same wind would've meant -4°C I suppose.

Neat article on snow frequency in coastal California. It is as you might expect… low, much lower than Italy. San Francisco has recorded twice since 1900, four if you include reports not from the official downtown station. To get snow you need: 1) a trough over the west coast 2) an upper level low that bring moisture from the Pacific while keeping the coast cold enough more common would be snow down to 1000 to 2000 feet. Far northern coastal California can see more snow: Klamath, right near the Oregon border once recorded 19 inches. A setup that brought snow to coastal northern California in 1989:  upper level low on the north coast, high over British Columbia. The first photo in the link, with snowy hills across the Golden Gate look very not California like www.wunderground.com/cat6/how-rare-snowfall-sea-level-californiasome neat old photos of snow in San Francisco with some people who look they've never seen snow before blog.sfgate.com/parenting/2011/02/17/a-century-of-snow-in-san-francisco/a claim it may never snow again in Los Angeles, well next century? www.kcet.org/shows/lost-la/why-hasnt-it-snowed-in-los-angeles-since-1962 |
