Snow Sighting

The Whitefish Montana summit webcam is showing recent snowfalls.

Edit: that partial snow cover lasted about 3 days and it's long gone now. But, it was exciting to see.

Whitefish is having another preseason dusting. This one looks a little heavier than the first one.

The snow hit here on Monday. It's a winter wonderland at my house, and it might not melt out until spring now - I had continuous snow on the ground from November 1st till mid April last year, and that was a dry season.

The Horse says they have a 24 cm base right now:

Are you based out of Montana, shortydude?

I'm hoping to retire there.

Whitefish is pretty close to some of the southeast BC resorts like Fernie and Kimberly... and there are skiboarders in that area. I'm a little further from that area but it's not a bad drive. Good excuse for some future meetups. ^^

Anchorage, Alaska is facing its snowiest November ever, with just under 38 inches of snow in just nine days.¹ The area's largest storm system of the season took place last Wednesday and Thursday, and parts of Anchorage saw around 18 inches of snow. This week, a second storm system "exacerbated" an already miserable situation in the city. Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson declared a snow emergency for the city on Thursday, and it is set to remain in effect through Friday evening.⁰ The November snowfall record in Anchorage, at least since 1953 when record-keeping began, is 38.8 inches, which fell in 1994.² The storms caused prolonged power outages, closed Anchorage schools every day this week, and left roads difficult to navigate or impassable in places.³ Anchorage scrambled to come up with more temporary housing for the homeless after back-to-back snowstorms dumped more than three feet of snow on the city in just nine days, an amount that is high even by Alaska standards.
