Readers may recall our story from Dec 15th, 2013: Over half the USA covered in snow, the most in 11 years
Now, it’s even more. See the map and the 3D image:
February 7, 2014
| Area Covered By Snow: | 67.4% |
| Area Covered Last Month: | 48.1% |
The map is from NOAA’s National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center
The 3D image is from this KMZ file and Google Earth:
h/t to Joe Bastardi of WeatherBell
UPDATE: Values of snow cover for this date show this is the highest in a decade.

Polar vortex will withdraw after the 12 February, will be closer to Europe. Winter lasts.

If you really believe this cold is caused by the warming of the planet ! You need to be dragged kicking and screaming from your home and staked in the snow till you are part of the fossil record.
As of this moment you can ski from Dallas to Kabul or Teheran. Can’t make it to Baghdad though, the white stuff runs out about a hundred miles short.
@ur momisugly all and everyone
tty remarks that now you can go by ski from Dallas to Teheran.
Yes, really remarkable.
Then a few persons find it counter- dicting global warming.
That idea or syndrom is typical of psychologically inferiour dia- lectic materialism. Rather take a good example from me. I tell you proper fairy- tales if there is anything more. I do not fight science.
I wrote a long lecture on the principle of Le Chatelier.
You see, if it is heated, there will be more vapour in the air. That follows from the vapour pressure curve of water. Then, will there also be more winds? I don`t know. Anthony Watts must answer to that as a meteorologist. Rumors say that there will be more winds.
But Aristoteles says that what goes up must come down again (where were you when elementary scolastics was told in public school?)
Now we have middle of February, that is normal temperature minimum on the northern hemisphere, and remark extreemly intensely, when the IOC allways arranges winter olympics.
Thus thinking in terms of the principle of Le Chatelier makes this go very well together. That ma snow does not counter- dict,…….. it does counter- act! global warming.
Thus a signal of global warming. Pay chosmetic surgery and get rid of that Dia- lectic materialism and use Le Chateliers Principle as your body lotion instead, and you will easily see this.
It is a typical negative feedback, one of the very fameous Thermostat- effects related to water, and telling that we seem well away from any “runaway effect” and rather at a complex eqvilibrium. Not at a silly “Cycle”. Because, that idea is also old Hegelian Marxist vulgar Dia- lectic materialist childish phantacies from the STALIN epoch. .
Thus, If you just amputate Dia- lectic materialism and resign og fighting a hockeystick, reallizing that it is perhaps rather a scytch and not a hocke\ystick, and resign on that silly thinktank republican war against science…..
……then all this snow can rather be seen as a very positive and a healthy signal from Reality and from “GAIA” or rather KALI we call her.
The whiteness of snow, the Albedo is also another property of that fameous material.
Here on our side it is rather warm and England reports pissing and raining. I have a fingerwidth above freezing point, it is practically zero outdoor.
By this precipitation we will further exel in hydroelectric power.
Snow on the prairies,…. how marvellous!
In California they pray for rain.
This is what happens when you don’t pay your carbon offsets.
You fools! You blind, credulous fools! That’s not snow out there.
It’s ash. Fine white ash. From all the heat.
Feel better now?

You showed me a perspective I failed to consider, my fair lady Janice. My tolerance may be higher but I do find displeasure in the kind of discourse you describe. And if there is musical quality to the reporter’s voice then it is music I generally avoid.
Do you remember the celebrated reporting by Deborah Feyerick on CNN assignment in Watertown?

Why models do not provide for such behavior polar vortex?
Because there foresee that the sun goes to sleep.
Paraphrasing a sign seen outside a local church last month … Whoever’s been praying for snow — please stop … we have enough.
In England it has been very mild – most of the South West has been flooded, the Somsert Levels for weeks – but no snow/ice. Where I live in Yorkshire it has been veryu mild, not a snow flake has fallen and not a sliver of ice has formed on little pond. Nice. Min you 2010 was a pig of a winter here.
Al Gore stated quite clearly that the polar ice caps would be melted by now. We need to petition the White House that upon Al Gore’s death, he be frozen and put on permanent display at the Smithsonian… A small placard “Manbearpig” will be all the reminder the world needs.
The insanity of the global warmists can best be found here: http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm
Here is a reminder of what they told us to expect in a Warmer world. Over 60 quotes promising warm winters with less snow.
Here is a sample.
And now back to reality.
Much more of this global warming and we’re going to freeze to death….
Chris
Why winter will be long?

Did anyone read Peter Fox editorial in the New York Times on this subject, “No more snow”? I think he may have been hanging out with Philip Seymour Hoff man or at least got into some of his dope. What a moron..
Awesome watching the global warming stuff usher in our next ice age….
You’re all being taken for suckers. Bush, the Koch Brothers, and Dick Cheney hired a mad scientist like Mr. Freeze from Batman to create a weather freezing machine. That’s why it seems like Global Warming is not true.
Yet the NY times is running articles about all the snow disappearing and how ski slopes are all going out of business….PS) Al Gore just bought a 20% share of a fracking company. These global warming cult members are seriously mental.

End of snow ?. Not this year .

Clear increase of temperature in the upper stratosphere.

You can add this to your list of bad snow prediction reports
THIN ICE: WINTER SPORTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE – Report by the DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION. issued in 2010
Predicting that the average cross-country ski season in Quebec will be cut in half in only 10 years and a complete wipe out by 2050
There is no shortage of snow in Canada and the winter temperatures have been below freezing in the entire country ,coast to coast this past week
Here are the Canadian current temperatures

Shouldn’t this lot have some recent data?

Odd that they have nothing beyond 2011 in the public domain. Perhaps they’re hiding it in the deep ocean.
Carbomontanus says
@ur momisugly ren
hwere do you have it from?
That is normally a good signal. It means that the sun is coming back in the spring and Ozone is building back up there.
It’s too early. Polar vortex release.
