Since http://coolwx.com/record/ stopped updating on the 5th sep I've trying to obtain global daily temp extremes (low ones) to match up to snow maps I post but my brain is not big enough to set up a database but may make some progress if guided by someone good in this area got as far as starting to ask weather stations for data http://gis.ncdc.noaa.gov/map/cdo/?thm=themeExtremes etc will keep hacking at it!

here is the snow progress for the last 7 days, not bad eh including iceland now. 11 Sep 4 Sep gettng left behind

Some pixels appearing in Norway. A glacier is a large persistent body of ice it is trying to show snow had a look over last three years and found

Latest snow and ice map developments for your interest.

Will do coaster

thanks for the update bftv , this is all new to me but most interesting, here is a upward graph for general ice in return http://arctic-roos.org/observations/satellite-data/sea-ice/observation_images/ssmi1_ice_area.png

are you sure?

That's great Hammer for my web cam spoting but I wonder if its yet another over estimation, as I see a forcast 2degC on Ben Nevis Tuesday eve (Sorry to spoil the fun)Norway and Svalbard have under achieved so far wonder if the meto can do better than yr.no Its seems that if the snow is overestimated at least it does not put people in danger like going the other way would.

2nd that it will be interesting to see if the 9th Sep map has moved away from the horizontal. http://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/images/daily_images/N_stddev_timeseries.png

yer will be keeping eyes out for snow here http://www.skjolden....i/webkamera.htm

Latest snow and ice map developments for your interest. After a recent big improvement there is now little negative snow anomaly left (there was more now last year)

will post again in a couple of days to see if it has -15 and snow forecast for Tuesday! http://www.yr.no/place/Canada/Northwest_Territories/Alert/long.html

I struggle to imagine this winter doing that even with my name tag!

When I said this 'my thinking on this is, Its been a number of years since we have had proper warm winters so if we are still in this cold cycle of winters there is a good chance of some good snow events, even if winter 2010 is not to be lived up to again. ' I was thinking of the Country in General terms of what is possible in response to the previous posters statement 'I reckon this winter is going to be a good one for snow, certainly a damn sight better than the previous one just gone!' and then the question in reply to it of hope u don't mind me asking but what makes u think think this winter's going to be good for snow? I hope your rite. looking up the discription of winter 1990-1991 In the United Kingdom the snow was brought in by a cold easterly wind.[10] At first it was mostly concentrated in the eastern counties of England, although it quickly spread inland. By the evening of 6 February many parts of England and Wales were experiencing snow showers, and by the following morning many areas woke to a covering of powdery snow. Along with this came a severe frost coupled with sub-zero temperatures, and heavy snowfalls which continued to fall throughout the day. Temperatures were as low as −11.7 °C(10.9 °F) and did not exceed −5 °C(23 °F) in many areas. Snow depths were in excess of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) across England and drifted in the easterly wind. On higher ground levels reache 30 centimetres i It would seem thats cold easterly wind is you best hope for a decent amount of snow , I've heard http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19496674 that the ice melt may produce more easterlies this winter so lets hope the easterlies do a better job than they did last year...

Did not know you had so little http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/leicester/hi/people_and_places/nature/newsid_9260000/9260306.stm compared with say I think Lincolnshire nicked it off you! the way it was coming down from Norway and Sweden, good luck this year.

my thinking on this is, Its been a number of years since we have had proper warm winters so if we are still in this cold cycle of winters there is a good chance of some good snow events, even if winter 2010 is not to be lived up to again.

The Winter ended up two or three hundred miles to our east would be very surprised if it happened again. maybe a mix of 2009 and 10

New snow has appeared

Low minus 1. High 9. About 80 miles North in Carmacks Monday A mix of sun and cloud with 30 percent chance of flurries or rain showers. Low zero. High 8.
