Grand Solar Minimum: Unprecedented High Snow Level

in #science7 years ago

I have been following this finnish website called https://globalcryospherewatch.org and they report some very interesting stats regarding the total snow levels in the northern hemisphere. This is the latest daily chart:

Comment: As you can see the red dots are the total snow mass for this winter 2018/2019 and they are totally off the chart. The upper grey area is 1 std deviation from the mean during the last 30 years and at the moment it looks like we are about 3-4 std deviations from the mean, which is gigantic.

I will continue to follow this chart very carefully going forward. It is kind of interesting since the winter here in Europe has been very mild but on the other hand, in North America it has been totally crazy with numerous winter storms and cold temperatures.
