Northern Hemisphere Snow Mass Above 1982-2012 Average; 4 Feet Of Snow To Hit New Mexico, Warnings Issued; + Al Gore Copes
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.
A few responses to Gore’s X post:
Come on Cap. Since when can 11cm of snow in 24 hours be classed as an “intense storm”? I saw more than that every winter in our back garden in Birmingham as a child. Things have been a bit more limited in recent times, but I enjoyed a nostalgic trip on YouTube with a look back at the Big freeze of 1962-63 when the UK froze from December 26th to March 6th, with snow to dream of.
In Yakutia, frosts will intensify to forty degrees
In the anticyclone, the air in the territory of Yakutia is very cold at night. In the eastern half of its territory, the temperature has dropped to -37…-39°C this fall.
By the end of the week, in the lowlands of northeastern Yakutia, the temperature will drop at night to -40…-42°C. They will bring light snow, significant snowfalls are expected in the west and northwest of Yakutia.
For your information, the day before, November 6, in the east of Yakutia, near the village of Yugorenok, the absolute maximum temperature for this day was noted. The frost weakened to -1.9°C. Whereas, the highest temperature observed so far, -2.8°C, has been held since 1968.

Deputatskij city/district (RU) today with the lowest temp near -40°C.
Even though it had previously reached -40.2°C in Verhojansk.
Signs of cold, very cold and cloudy trends.
Don’t get too excited about the snowfall in New Mexico. I have been on this site for almost four years, and it seems the GFS forecast for pending snowfall rarely reaches expectations. And yes, I agree with Alby, four inches of snow is not an intense storm, unless it all fell in one hour with 50 MPH winds, or higher. Let us please not over hype the situation, for we are then just like the global warming people.
Check the NWS drought map, and for the past 6 months almost everywhere west of the Mississippi has been warmer and drier than average. I am in the camp that the sun is changing to a cooler phase, but Hunga-Tonga has delayed the colder temps. I do believe the long-term cooling is going to happen.
Mike and this other person above, Cap was not hyping the amount of snow for that reason. He was relaying the thoughts of the locals who were exclaiming about getting a minor amont of snow, yes – but they are getting it 3 weeks or so earlier than normal.
That is what makes these snow events noteworthy.
Western North Carolina 11/7/2024 3:01 PM…75F degrees. Asheville NC water plant will need a few years to be rebuilt. Sewer, etc .all that was wiped out with the hurricane. We moved out (fled) months ago. Now they have looting, police were defunded by the progressive (D) mayor, and the great tourism business is no more, no matter what they say. Here in Maggie Valley, NC, our RV park is next to the water plant, and the huge water tankers pull in at night for hours, fill, and leave,. taking water to areas devastated. yes, including Asheville. Long time before the breweries open there. That’s life. OH: Global warming is a HOAX.

Weather Underground/Weather Channel.com have the NM snow a named Winter Storm Anya with nice color diagrams of snow totals and the NWS print out.
Also featured is cat 3 Hurricane Rafael in the Gulf of Mexico showing the storm pumping rain up into the US East of the snowstorm. All the same system, the hurricane pulling cold air down along the Rockies. Moisture from the warmer than ave GOM hitting the above mile high Rockies. Warmer than ave sea temp in the Carib formed hurricane R.
What they don’t show is the SO2 from volcanos feeding the system. Five thousand other weather news channels don’t show that either. I could do a data bomb and fill the page for three feet of links that show the snow/hurricane but not one showing the volcanos SO2 feeding the system. Also won’t show the solar flare that started the hurricane or the planetary alignment that caused the solar flare. Easy recent recallable data and alignments/flares going on right now. Electron spike yesterday above alert level. Mag spike, N Lights.

I agree with Mike. It will get cooler and maybe sooner than most anticipate or realize. Many years ago while still in the Air Force, I had the chance to sit in the cockpit of a twin Huey helo and we transported some gov’t weenies to Jedore Bay, northeast of Halifax. We arrived about 2 hours before totality so the science folks could get set up. There wasn’t anything noticeable until about 30 minutes before the event. The Sun’s disk was about 50% in shadow and I noticed about 10 minutes later that the Sunlight was now visibly reduced but still very bright. The weather was clear with 93 million miles of visibility, we could see the sun. It was only in the last 5 minutes that the sunlight was reducing more rapidly but it didn’t start to rapidly darken until the last minute. As it got darker, the sea birds began to quiet down and when the Sun was totally in shadow a hush fell upon the area around us and it instantly got about 15 deg. C cooler. This lasted for about a minute and I set up for the diamond ring effect when the sun reappeared, and everything simply reversed. I did get the ring effect in a colour slide shot. My point is that the process was not linear but exponential temporary or in a time sense. I believe that this is what we will experience with the coming Solar hibernation which Valentina Zharkova predicts will be fully established by 2032, less than 8 years away. Not to be forgotten is what happens to water when the temp is below O deg C. It turns to snow and ice. Very hard to grow anything in my backyard garden when the average overnight temp is below 10Deg C. I think our glorious leaders need to get their heads out of their nether regions and at least start the discussion of how to prepare humanity, all 8 billion of us, to deal with the same planetary conditions experienced 400 years ago in the Maunder Minimum. A scary prediction is that the habitable regions in the northern hemisphere will be south of 45Deg North Latitude. That is about 240 nautical miles south of the present Canada/US border. Stand by for some eyewatering population movements. Similar conditions will prevail in the Southern Hemisphere see: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjZopPXi8uJAxUDHzQIHVb2CyIQFnoECDUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fearthobservatory.nasa.gov%2Fimages%2F7122%2Fchilly-temperatures-during-the-maunder-minimum&usg=AOvVaw3Xl-on4YiWtCqQHxGEB25v&opi=89978449
I believe that 10% of the Earth’s humans perished in that event (estimated population was 1 billion then). Do the math on 8 billion people. I’m 82 so it probably won’t affect me much but my 7 year old grandson certainly will be affected. Anybody out with any thoughts on the subject. Billy Best in the Vancouver, BC area. Please excuse any typos etc.
What makes you think they intend to prepare humanity? They have already prepared their underground refuges, and the rest of us will just have to tough it out.
Temp went up last solar minimum, it was record hot. Cosmic rays didn’t cool it down.
NASCAR races in Phoenix Az this weekend, forecast sunny and warmer than ave, 82F on Sunday.

Europe/The Netherlands
The last 2 weeks of November 2024
can really be called autumn, only now are strong winds coming from the west and northwest to the European
continent, with strong wind fields, and possibly several times heavy storms, and as expected the high pressure areas
that prevented Europe from really cooling down are disappearing, but that is now over.
Heat source 2 for Europe has not yet started
the soft sea air from the Azores area that is transported over a long distance
towards the west/north/northeast of Europe by a dominant
southwesterly current is expected to start in December
Why high pressure areas disappear in December and cannot
provide winter cold that will have to come from Russia
is a good question up to now, but this has to do with climate steering change
high and low pressure areas changed position in the summer and in the winter in a short time
and that became clearly visible after the summer of 1987.
Winter transport of cold from Russia to Europe?
It is important that there are 3 positions of high pressure
that is a 1.a polar high,2.a greenland high and 3 a Russian high
that must connect with each other.
Eastern and northeasterly winds from Russia with cold?
but this will be prevented by a dominant south-westerly current because
large increasingly strong low pressure areas with multiple cores, so a low pressure in series connection,
with a pressure pattern of isobar lines from SW to NO
and there is no more high pressure in between, so heat source 2 will again supply all the soft sea air from the
Azores area, so that heat records will be broken again.
South-westerly dominant current over a long distance from the Azores area west of Portugal
The temperatures always rise in the winter period due to the supply of soft sea air from the Azores area
this ensures afternoon temperatures in Amsterdam of between 11-14 degrees, and if
this lasts longer than 3 weeks, then the flowers in the park will come out of the ground again.
