November 2018

Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover 37,774,000 sq kms Ranked 3rd in the last 53
Average 33,958,000 over the last 53 years
Maximum 38,597,00 (1993) Minimum 28,279,000 (1979)

the extra snow cover above average is greater in size than India

Global Thermometer sabotaged by NOAA going HTTPS :-(

But only for the USA Weather Stations

They will be planning for the imminent Government Shutdown

I'll find another stream that isn't SSL encrypted and fix it ... again

Good!
Now we need NASA to put Greenland in the big freezer
Wishing you a safe winter, David Autumns

Alged that may be the case but not globally and how quickly you forget the preceding 3 months. I will have the scars for the rest of my days that the stuff that Dr Vine wrote Children will not know about in 2001 really does fall from the sky in huge quantities

Little Mermaid your graph stops 10 years ago ...

For 2018 the assessment reads
"exceptional winter snow accumulation and heavy, summer snowfall, drove the net snow input mass to 130 billion tons above the 1981 to 2010 average. This was followed by a near-average melt and runoff period, resulting in a large net mass gain for the ice sheet in 2018 of 150 billion tons. This is the largest net gain from snowfall since 1996, and the highest snowfall since 1972."

NASA don't need no freezer :-)

Hi David
You may right but we were not used to that in France.
We had just 2 days with minus 1° in the morning in Paris region (at starting of Dec) and since then notably above 10° with rain.
I dont bother as i dont like the annoyance of snow in town.
But in the Northen Alps skiing stations there is about 80cm to 170cm (up the trails).
I wud rather like a freezing sunshining winter at days and clear winter starry nights.....(stars gazing is one of my hobbies)
...global warming still a topic for debating
