Alaska and Siberia have had a very good start indeed, well well up this year from the previous 2.

yes, in fact here's the snow anomoly map, shows just as you say, i'll try to post these daily.

[Stormyking]

ahaaaa, yes I can see , I think last year it took until like october for Alaska to have some proper snow.

[Optimus Prime]

Only just lol! Took me a little while to actually see the difference between the 2.

If you class an area the size of France only 'just'.

If you class an area the size of France only 'just'.

Just goes to show how hard it is for our little Island to see widespread snowfall. Siberia can see snowfall that covers an area the size of France in just one day, but it seems near on impossible for the entire UK to be covered with snowfall in that time frame.

Looking very good for this time of year, doing much better than we were doing this time last year and the year before! Lets hope we can keep this snow up!

Same date last year

and for 2009

Here is today's snow anomoly map, we are doing very well!

[summer blizzard]

Also looks like the ice will reach the Siberian coast again within the next week, so hopefully this should mean an area of snow in that area.

Very interesting that snow is already present pretty much anywhere east of the Urals.

Not a flake in Svalbard yet, looks damn chilly though !!!

[Isolated Frost]

Currently -1C at Longyearbyen, Svalbard, predicted to get -3C with snow tonight.

[Stormyking]

Very very good start indeed, wonder how long it will take for it to start snowing over Northern Europe

There seems to be an identical snow patch in southern Norway!

That's 'because your looking at some of Norway's glaciers!

[EML Network]

and here's todays chart

[cyclonic happiness]

And in glorious detail, we can tell that the majority of snow has fallen on the upland areas.

Nice shot ......but I'm concerned by the black hole....are we doomed?

[Downburst]

That photo is fantastic. Where did you get it and can you keep them coming each day?

It's from cryosphere today.

Yes, and the silly sods in the arctic ice thread keep wondering where all the ice is going to? doh!

I've run the animation. Although I can see Ocean and in land Lakes and Bays change I can't see as much as 1 pixel change on the land itself. Is this just covering water only? In otherwords the land area is a template?
