Snow cover is really starting to spread out over Northern Canada, Alaska and Asia.

This is going to be a REALLY fun thread to watch! Thanks for posting it for us. I especially like that the charts in the original post will auto-update, so you don't have to keep re-posting charts.

Can't wait for the white to dip way, way down south to Atlanta (even if it's only for a couple of days).

Thanks for making this an updated map! It has been very interesting to see the snowcover EXPLODE over the past week in the NH.

We are now ahead of last year at this time! Pretty amazing!

Yep, we are ahead of last year's pace, and having two blizzards .. one in Canada, and the other in Alaska is definitely helping things along, snowcover wise ...

10.7cm solar flux values dipped under 1000 back in May with an overall trend lower (some fluctuations in July/Aug) due to recent solar activity ... but generally a trend on the way down as we head for the solar minima ...

This is going to be a hell of a cold winter coming up for the central/eastern US. As you all mentioned, snowcover ahead of last year is one indication, plus lower solar activity will help greatly. All of these factors should enhance blocking over the poles (-NAO) and lock the trough in eastern NA this winter. Plus if it means anything, old farmers almanac predicts a very cold February with temps averaging 10 below normal in deep south along with heavy snows in the upper south ! :wink:

Time will tell if that verifies.

Still got a while before it gets to Florida... I suspect we may not see snow cover across cental/northern Florida until Christmas or even as late as New Years :eek:

We'll all be waiting though :wink:

Some Flurries, yeah thats possible across northern FL this year during colder periods, a few good freezes may also be in the cards for the Citrus regions, jek, but i would NOT hold my breath on the Snowcover idea. LOL

perhaps Don has some data on accumulating snowfall across northern Florida.

If Don does, I might be able to further study some possible correlation with active TC seasons with snowfalls in Florida ...

Ill be looking forward to it.

For those of you on the snowcover watch, PV development over AK and the re-establishment of the western US trough per the last few runs of the ECMWF should help to increase snowfall coverage over western north america next week.

WHOA!!! Would you just Look at the jump in snowcover in northern Alberta (AB) and Saskatchewan (SK) in just the past TWO DAYS!!! It won't be long before the entire Canadian Shield is covered in snow!!!

Yes Especially with the developing Western CUS trough developing.
