Northern Hemisphere Snow Mass Above 1982-2012 Average

After an apparently lackluster start (potentially related to data issues), the Northern Hemisphere snow mass is now building at rates above the 1982-2012 average.

Data from GlobSnow SWE v1.3, which is calculated using satellite microwave radiometer observations combined with ground-based snow depth measurements, reveals the total snow mass across the hemisphere, excluding mountainous regions.

The season’s latest data, marked by the circled red dot, shows total snow mass as of November 4 trending above the historical average. This is in no small part tied to the historically early accumulations building across the likes of Russia, Mongolia and China.

Just this week comes the news that even Western Russia is copping record-breaking November snowfall, across Murmansk and Moscow—to name just two regions.

On November 4, Murmansk, located on the Kola Peninsula, experience an intense storm that dropped 11 cm (4.3 inches) of snow in just 24 hours, breaking the previous benchmark set back in 1967. Murmansk’s snow cover now stands at 25 cm (9.84 inches).

Moscow also got in on the act, with 9 cm (3.5 inches) coating the capital. As per a recent gismeteo.ru report, this is only the second instance in almost three decades that such sizable snows have accumulated during the first week of November.

Looking ahead, Asia’s impressive totals are only forecast to build—and then some:

This early-season uptick is likely signaling another robust winter to come — the theme of recent years:

4 Feet Of Snow To Hit New Mexico, Warnings Issued

Also aiding Northern Hemisphere snowfall totals will be the deluge about to hit parts of New Mexico.

A powerful winter storm is set to blanket NM with potentially historic snow through Friday. Major impacts are expected statewide, as heavy snow sweeps the East Mountains to Santa Rosa, the northern mountains, and the I-25 corridor from Santa Fe to Colorado.

Feet of snow will accumulate, with near-blizzard conditions as visibility sinks to 100 feet and winds create hazardous travel.

“Monumental snowfall totals unfolding across New Mexico,” writes meteorologist Ryan Maue on X.

The storm will intensify through Thursday, with extreme snowfall along I-25 and I-40 likely causing road closures, power outages, and a risk of roof collapse.

More than 4 feet is forecast in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and 2 feet across other mountain ranges. Clines Corners, Raton, and northeast areas may also see over 2 feet, with Santa Fe and the Upper Rio Grande Valley expecting several inches to over a foot.

Many areas are expected to break snowfall records — updates to follow.

Winter is coming North America:

Al Gore Copes

In a recent post-election lament on X (linked here), Al Gore—who has amassed a fortune pushing the climate breakdown narrative—calls the election outcome a “dark day” for climate advocates.

According to Gore, a Trump win means “all of us must find ways to redouble our efforts” to solve “the climate crisis”. Gore claims this is a moment to “safeguard the future of humanity,” and by framing his message in such stark, apocalyptic terms, he pushes a false choice: accept his sweeping vision of curtailed prosperity and ultimately freedoms, or doom humanity to extinction.

However, these so-called ‘End Times’ lack any scientific backing, they don’t have anything like the consensus Gore purports they do. As routinely stated by distinguished scientists, from MIT and Princeton professors, to climate scientists themselves: “There Is No Climate Crisis”. By spewing up catastrophe rhetoric at every turn, Gore effectively silences any nuanced discussions, dismissing alternative perspectives as too dangerous to even consider, “our times is limited”. This then blindly paves the way for restrictive policies that are always sold as our savior, those that tighten the establishment’s grip on our everyday lives.

When Gore speaks of his “greatest source of hope” being “the courage and commitment of grassroots leaders,” he conveniently ignores the voices of scientists, economists, and everyday citizens who question his claims. These voices are defiantly disregarded, while his alarmist supporters are funneled into a movement of fear over facts.

In his recent lament, Gore draws a strained comparison to the civil rights movement, even invoking Martin Luther King Jr. Equating the fight for civil rights with the climate agenda comes across as both tone-deaf and opportunistic. Climate policies lead to economic and personal restrictions—precisely the opposite of the freedoms that the civil rights movement sought to secure.

Ultimately, Gore’s post-election cope to “redouble efforts” is less about environmental protection and more about maintaining a narrative that boosts his wealth, influence and curated reputation, while also appeasing the backers/masters behind the scenes. By rallying for ever-greater government intervention, Al Gore’s so-called climate solutions only serve to tighten control over the average citizen’s life while simultaneously lining his own pockets.

Personally, Gore has profited enormously from his climate crusade. His investments in green tech and his roles in organizations that benefit from climate policies reveals that his wealth builds with the each fear he promotes.

But his own lifestyle—his private jets, sprawling beachfront estates, and huge carbon footprint—exposes the truth: there is no climate crisis, just grifters grifting and alarmists alarming.
