Feet of snow fall and ski resorts considering more hours of season.by Rebecca StevensonTuesday, April 5th 2022
Not unprecedented but certainly unusual! A Spring storm that brings two, to more than three, feet of snow to the Washington Cascades in the beginning of April! It’s the storm that blew in wind gusts from 35 to 64 mph in the lowlands and blasted the Cascades with heavy snow and a wind gust measured at Mount Rainier of 90 mph.
So, just how much new snow amounts are the ski resorts holding to entice snow sports enthusiasts? Measurements over the last 48 hours are impressive, listed here with the base amounts today. Starting with Alpental at 17” the numbers keep going up with the highest snow total at Mount Baker of 51 inches, that’s over three feet in 48 hours!

Here comes the next one coming south. Steady sequence. Just the intensity changing. 40s here cold wind. Astro has got the longer seasonal pulse right. Intensity here less perhaps than forecasted. But hey, I'm not gripping. To call this as early as he called it I think is a good forecast. Just the intensity in our parts are not as bad. Cycles are now less intense and the polar-tropical interface is moving south. The models have been running warm in the ten day stretch all winter. And they have a damn poor track record in these parts.
Biting deep too.

That wind had an edge to it today, didn't feel like spring here. |

Seems so ... the French and Iberians are gonna have to go back to drinking water.

i'm just worried about the wheat ... no wheat no voddy ... ekkkkkkk What did the Celts (or others) whip up from what grains during the cold times. Or was it mead? You could do a startup ... "Boreal".  |

COMO Temperature and snowfall (1888-2021). Looks to me like a definite "drift" to the cold side since 2016. After 1996, the Minimum-Maximum temperatures show a full 10-degree increase, while the Maximum-Maximum have held relatively steady, maybe a slight downward drift. Since 2016, the Minimum Maximums have crashed. As for Minimums ... relatively steady ... no distinct trend. Although we show a sharp downward spike in Minimum-Minimums the last few years that close to match the last pre-cycle 24 minimums. Our record snowfall period coincides with the crankup of SC21 following the low SC20 ... also coincident with the Great Climate Shift of 1976. Also in the run-up of SC24. This chart needs to be updated for the last two winters.

In the context of these last few posts, I found this data interesting: Sunspot counts have now exceeded predictions for 18 straight months. The monthly value at the end of March was more than twice the forecast, and the highest in nearly 7 years. The "official forecast" comes from the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel, a group of scientists representing NOAA, NASA and International Space Environmental Services (ISES). The Panel predicted that Solar Cycle 25 would peak in July 2025 as a relatively weak cycle, similar in magnitude to its predecessor Solar Cycle 24. Instead, Solar Cycle 25 is shaping up to be stronger. source: spaceweather.com/I noticed that as well. Which brings up interesting questions. Is the entire "Grand Solar Minimum" off the table? To early to tell? Or is this cycle just starting a little earlier than forecast? It's not exactly an 11 year cycle there is variability. Well, no on that Glenn, as the entire Grand Solar Minimum is not off the table. Not by any means. Solar cycle #25 is just the start of the Sun's Grand Minimum, which will extend through solar cycle #26 (the 2030s) and solar cycle #7 (the 2040s.) Anyone who has fine-tuned observational skills can easily see that the Earth's atmosphere has been gradually contracting and cooling for years. All the 'man-made climate change' alarmist silliness comes from people, groups and organizations who know little to nothing about the weather and how the Earth's climate functions in the real world. They ignore the laws of physics, the laws of thermodynamics, talk empty and useless words because they do not listen, and if one does not listen, then one cannot learn. The peak of solar cycle #25, our new and current one, will take place in the mid-2020s, and effectively, we will see its share of sunspots during solar cycle #25's maximum that will help to bring about extremes of weather, temperature, and drought in various regions of the world (U.S., Australia, parts of Central Asia, South America, etc.) followed by torrential rain, floods, etc. These extremes are part and parcel of the climate and weather of global cooling.  As for the 11-year cycle of the Sun, these are modulated by the planets - particularly Jupiter and Saturn - as I have pointed out numerous times over the years. These cycles have been underway since the origin of the Earth and Solar System and continue in operation to this very day.  This is the reason for our climate changes, and the quiescent phases of the Sun are responsible for global cooling, and mini-ice ages as the transits of Jupiter and Saturn cause the Barycenter to also oscillate relative to the Sun which is the reason for climate conditions over spans of time. However, it is better to know the 22-year solar cycle (also called the Hale Cycle) as that starts when oppositely charged magnetic bands that wrap the Sun appear near the Sun's polar latitudes. Over the cycle, these bands migrate toward the equator. It causes sunspots to appear as they travel across the mid-latitudes of the Sun.  The cycle ends when the magnetic bands meet in the middle and terminate one another. That is called a terminator event, and I expect that to take place 2029-2030 and that arrives just as solar cycle #26 will also kick off the second phase of the climate of global cooling (2029-2041.) As I have long predicted, that second phase of the mini-ice age will be the worst, and it will extend into solar cycle #27 that dominates the decade of the 2040s. |

There is still plenty of winter weather to go as you pointed out Missouri. Thing is that some people tend to see only their personal locale as representative of what is happening everywhere, which is wrong of course, as that is not going to help them learn how to accurately forecast weather and climate conditions, much less seasonal weather. Back to the real world, as I forecasted, that this winter 2021 would linger and delay Spring 2022 in various regions of the northern hemisphere: Before we get to North America, check out Europe:  And now, here into the first 10 days of April 2022, we have this: Record Cold Temperatures & Late Frost Hit France's Vineyards for the Second Spring in a Row ->> news.yahoo.com/record-cold-temperatures-frost-hit-170602714.html EUROPE: Jet Stream  Meanwhile, winter 2021 in regions across North America have a blizzard on the way here into the second week of April 2022
 There is more to come here in April 2022, as I've previously forecast. All one has to do is to observe what is happening in various regions and not just where one resides locally.
