I live in Western Wyoming. It is the middle of January and most of my yard is grass. My lawn is supposed to be under three or four feet of snow. Instead, grass. This is all fucked.
even better indicator antartica have actual vegatation encroaching further south, at least in the subantartic islands. the 2 native flower plants(antartic hair grass and Antarctic pearlwort have spread southward due to warming temp, plus also invasive species.
old people talking about forest lands should be privatized or the ol “we go through waves”, “it’s a la niña year”, “I’m enjoying the weather”, “I heard such and such got snow”
the most batshit insane thought processes calm these people’s minds, and it’s… well it makes sense where we are when you can see the gymnastics many people are doing. propaganda and attempts to suppress truths on reality have served well
rest easy knowing the kids will be served sunnyside up :)
maybe a few of these pricks shift gears after all the common ski spots are unusable and their lil pastime gets nullified
Honestly the amount of snow the deep south gets now is alarming. During my childhood (0-18) it snowed 3 times and only 2 of those stuck. Then it began happening 2 or 3 times a decade. Now it’s every year. It doesn’t stick every year but it falls
My mom remembered it snowing twice from her childhood to when I was born. My grandfather remembered maybe 4 or 5 snows his whole life.
There is currently, right now, an absurd weather formation… uh, forming, that looks like it is going to dump a serious amount of snow and freezing rain from TX/KS/OK all the way to the East Coast.
Its gonna hit this Friday.
Where I am?
Another couple of days at -30F.
Seen it a few times in the few years I’ve been here, but the locals say that that level of cold is pretty rare.
Parts of northern Minnesota, around Duluth… could possibly get as cold as -60F.
Would entirely not surprise me if Texas’ power grid collapses again, Ted Cruz takes another vacation, etc.
I nearly died in the PNW Heatdome a few years back.
In roughly a week, I lost 10 pounds, purely from sweating.
In that week, I don’t think it ever got under 85 degrees in my apartment. For several days it was never under 95. And thats 24/7, including nights.
That’s with mylar/space blankets reflecting heat out of the windows, and with the portable AC unit I could afford.
Its not that common for apartments to have any AC solution in the PNW, because normally, for the past 100 years, yeah summer is hot, but not that hot, and most importantly, if it is exceptionally hot, its just for one day, then its either less hot the next day, or is even overcast and rains/drizzles a bit.
Oh and that Heatdome also featured all of the smoke from regional wildfires just… pooling, basically, in certain areas, so I also had to ramshackle an air furnace filter and a box fan together.
You needed a gas mask to safely be outside for more than 15-30 minutes.
… I don’t live there any more, but apparently what’s going on now is… basically every river in the state is flooding at historical levels, at the same time.
Yeah. Climate is broken. Its only gonna get worse.
I live in the mountains and they aren’t even snowcapped this year. Still feels like September and I can easily go outside in a t-shirt most days. Even when it does snow, which has only happened three times so far this season, it melts by the late afternoon.
We got a huge downpour of rain back a week or two, flooding and everything. Today the high is like 10f. It’s crazy. And the swings are just crap to live through too. Today it’s 52, tomorrow it’s -52.
I’m not upset about not getting it as snow cuz I hate shoveling, but it’s very upsetting to have it come down as rain in January (should have been a blizzard).
It has been colder than usual in the upper midwest in the great lakes regions. We got down to 33 degrees one morning in august. Then thanksgiving we got a huge storm and that snow is mostly still on the ground, arctic air masses overhead all week.
Somehow we miss all the warming here, we get more warm snaps in the winter, but the summers have been getting cooler too, we have net zero temperature gain. But last year in the north we got way way more snow than normal, and this year we are above normal too.

Yup, California here. We’re usually at around 30-50 inches of snow by now. It’s snowed just under two inches so far this entire season.

Don’t worry florida got some snow.

This is not good
