Summer snows hit northern hemisphere…
Many parts of Europe have not had much a of a real summer, having seen much cool and wet weather this year.
Days of snow forecast down to 2000 meters in the Austrian Alps
Today the Austrian site heute.de here reports “snow flakes have colored many mountain regions of Austria white overnight” even though we are still in the summer month of August. A low pressure system over Central Europe and is feeding cold air from the north into the Alps.
Heute.de also reports that last night’s mountain snowfall is not just an unusual one-day freak weather event, but that snow will be around over the coming days. “At least until the end of next week, the temperatures will hardly break through the 20-degree mark anywhere.”
“Winter feeling”
According to heute.de: “In large parts of the country, unsettled and cool weather will continue over the weekend. Especially from the Tyrolean lowlands to Mostviertel and Mariazellerland the clouds will dominate and rain will fall frequently. For the first time, winter feeling could arise again, because on the mountain peaks above 2,000 meters snowfall is possible again.”
The summers of 2019 and 2020 were particularly hot and dry across Europe, and climate alarmists boldly professed that the hot weather was climate change. But this year the alarmists have been silent.
“Big news” from Greenland
Meanwhile Greenland snow mass balance reached a “historic level for this time of year”, reported the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE):
Source DMI.
These amazing gains are in addition to those observed in recent years. The tide has turned in Greenland. And this growth trend has accelerated in 2020 – that’s BIG news. This is how glaciers build up. This is also how ice ages begin.
more glaciers, less warmunitsts
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Sorry to go off topic.
Plasma from a powerful M-class solar flare will reach Earth in two days. This could amplify the impact of Hurricane Ida on the US south coast.
In two days, Ida is going to be several hundred miles inland.
The eye of the hurricane will remain in the Gulf later today.
By the time it hits Louisiana, Ida may have reached category 4.
Not to be extraordinarily picky, but if the snow mass balance has reached an historic level, shouldn’t the line indicating it at least be above the 30 year mean?
The best is to look at a deeper analysis:

“snow flakes have colored many mountain regions of Austria white overnight”
I have it on good authority that white is not a color. Just ask any POC.
Why is this not all over the Misleadia?
Oh, never mind, I answered my own question
What Hatter Eggburn wrote on August 28, 2021 8:44 am I can confirm!
” Weather charts for north Europe and the Arctic show that throughout Europe’s “cold in July” cool summer, there have been continual cold air outbreaks from Greenland which have been depressing temperatures in north west Europe ”
Here in Northeast Germany, we continuously experience low pressure, CCW turning areas travelling from Nortwest Atlantic regions down to us.
And each time a high pressure, CW turning area halts between the Azores and the British Islands, things become even worse.
This CW/CCW pairs work like big aspirators of cold air coming from the Arctic over us, sometimes moving till the northern part of the Alps.
Thus, no wonder: 2021 wasn’t a dreamy year in our region:
But… you only need to go back to 2014, and there you see it wasn’t terribly much better, was it?
Until now, we feel far, far away from any cooling here: simply because while since 1990 our springs cool down a bit, our winters become warmer and warmer.
We were in Austria, on holiday, in August 1974 and we ran into snow near Muttersberg. There were people on holiday enjoying the skiing as well as the locals. Ah! Happy memories of long, long ago when we were young and newly married living in Germany.
In winter, the circulation depends only on the state of the stratospheric polar vortex and is completely free from human influence.
Double their carbon taxes to pay for the road maintenance.
