A snowstorm on February 3–4 brought 0.5 to 4 inches (1.3 to 10.2 cm) of snow to parts of Western Washington, including the Puget Sound region, after a winter without measurable snowfall. It was caused by cold air arriving from the north alongside a low-pressure system, dropping temperatures to the 30s and 40s.
These include areas east of the Great Lakes in North America, the west coasts of northern Japan, Lake Baikal in Russia, and areas near the Great Salt Lake, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Baltic Sea, Adriatic Sea, the North Sea and more. Lake-effect blizzards are the blizzard-like conditions resulting from lake-effect snow. Under certain conditions ...
By RYAN GORMAN Scientists now believe that global warming is to blame for extreme cold snaps in North America during the winter months – and that it will only keep happening. The "polar ...
Snow density (ρ s) is the mass per unit volume of snow of a known volume, calculated as kg/m 3. Classification runs from very fine at below 0.2 mm to very coarse (2.0–5.0 mm) and beyond. Snow hardness (R) is the resistance to penetration of an object into snow. Most snow studies use a fist or fingers for softer snows (very soft through ...
Cold subsides when the vortex restabilizes and drives the arctic air back north. January’s freeze-out comes after December started cold, but finished out unusually warm across most of the country.
A swath of 12–18+ inches of snow extended from central Pennsylvania through most of southern New England. Locally, up to 44 inches (110 cm) of snow fell in Newark Valley, New York and 45 inches (110 cm) fell in Ludlow, where a new state record may have been broken. In nearby Pennsylvania, the 24-hour snowfall record of 38 inches (97 cm) was ...
He also likes North Carolina’s chances for getting that much snow this winter, as the El Niño that has developed is expected to strengthen through the summer and fall.
A study published in Science Advances in 2022 stated that climate-caused changes in atmospheric rivers affecting California had already doubled the likelihood of megafloods—which can involve 100 inches (250 cm) of rain and/or melted snow in the mountains per month, or 25 to 34 feet (7.6 to 10.4 m) of snow in the Sierra Nevada—and runoff in ...
