Mountains tell tales of extreme weather. A snowstorm that closed Trail Ridge Road yesterday frustrating many park visitors has given way to clear skies and happy visitors driving across the road today. The snowy photo on the bottom is from yesterday and the photo on the top is from today. Look closely at today’s photo along the curb of the road and you can see a small white patch of snow quickly melting in the sun.
From this morning and all day my radar been showing lots of snow in Southern Alberta & Saskatchewan & Montana. Havent gotten around to seeing whats going on yet
What annoys me is all these so-called meteorologists saying this snowstorm is occurring just "two weeks into fall". We are FIVE WEEKS into fall! The meteorological definition of fall is September 1st to November 30th. We get fall-like weather showing up as early as late August here in Saskatchewan, and by Labor Day, summer is most definitely over. As for December 1st, it is most definitely hard winter here, not late fall. We can get blizzards and temperatures below -30 on Dec 1st. Why do these morons stick to the irrelevant astronomical definitions of seasons?
Although this snowstorm is indeed early, it isn't unprecedented. It's just unusual. The equivalent would be getting a snowstorm five weeks before the end of spring (5 weeks back from June 1st is late April). We had an unusual - but not unprecedented- dump of snow in late April last year.
