Although it’s normal for this subarctic area to receive large snowfalls during November, the most recent one was particularly generous! 55 cm (about 22 inches) fell during a three-day period, filling driveways and road verges and obliterating vision to create a temporarily monochromatic world. Here are some snow covered views.
The snow finally stopped this afternoon and the sun made an appearance, but I understand that we will get more on Friday.
Happy Tuesday.
The lake effect snow is coming down in full abundance. It hasn’t stopped snowing – a very heavy, wet snow – for 48 hours now.
Happy Monday.
The November snow is off to a good start in NWT.
There will be heavy periods of it (sometimes for days at a time) until December when the temperature will drop enough to slow it down.
Happy Sunday.
Once we left High Level, Alberta, and headed due north, we encountered temperatures at 0° accompanied by a freezing rain/snow mix. It made driving interesting, to say the least.
Happy Wednesday from the snowy Northwest Territories.
These little iris are only about 10 cm (4 in) tall but they don’t let a little cold and snow stop them from bursting!
These were blooming in a neighbour’s yard about 10 days ago. I was surprised to see them as despite appearances, I thought they only grew in the most southern parts of Canada.
Happy Thursday.
We were above 0C and wildly melting, but Snow and Wind happened.
It’s not supposed to last though, and Melt will return!
Happy Sunday.
Now here is a hardy spring bulb!
The Arctic crocus usually blooms through the snow and actually requires four to six months of cold weather in order to develop.
Nature’s adaptations are amazing!
Happy Saturday.
We have a lot of snow that’s in its melting phase.
So great! Happy spring.
At least not for now, because we have had a major rise in temperature accompanied by sun!
The change from -21C (-6F) on Friday to today’s +8 (46F) has been huge, resulting in lots of water running everywhere and pond-sized puddles in yards, parking lots and soccer fields. I got a shower trying to get into the house!
You can see how much snow from the house eaves has already melted since a week ago.
Happy Tuesday!
Heavy overcast with snowy rain falling …
Happy Monday.
