51 cm snow on ground, 18 cm snowfall since Tuesday, 1.60m snowfall for the season. Winter is back here in South Yukon. Unfortunately, we may be above zero this afternoon... too bad, this is so beautiful !

Thank you, Beavis, for sharing... this blog is really interesting !

Hi everybody ! I did not post very much pas weeks, weather has been so boring in February.... We have been about 6C above the normals here, whereas the airport and Dawson City have almost been +8C above the normals. No comment.... This week seems however to be very snow here in the Whitehorse area with +15 cm snowfall forecast by GFS. Wait & See, for sure, but if so, I would break my personal snow depth record which is 47 cm. I will keep you posted. Have a great day !

the last one is so beautiful Patrick !

Another night of northern lights display, with my first red shades: Temperatures are back to the normals, with -22.7/-4.9 yesterday and -22.3C this morning.

Good evening, I did not post in the past weeks .... weather conditions are so boring here in Yukon with temperatures above the normals of about 10C.... Yesterday we had an amazing display of northernlights in Whitehorse, the most beautiful I ever saw. Here are some pictures, and a link to the site: Have a great evening !

Good evening everybody, Very mild here in the territory, with temperatures up to +7C in Mayo, +6 in Watson lake, +4 in Faro, +2 here at my place. We also got some rain, which is a bit incredible at this time of the year. Roads and streets were very icy in my area, and wind gusts up to 90 km/h in south Yukon drove to some power outages. Temperatures will go down in upcoming days, and it should not be too cold with sunny conditions ! Tomorrow, it is the start of the Yukon Quest with links Fairbanks to Whitehorse for this 1,000 miles race ! Conditions seem to be far better than last year.

What for a difference with Yukon. 3C below average in November and January, but almost 7C above average in December.... You have for sure a great winter there in Alaska !

As you can notice, cold stopped at the Yukon border ! Even if we got a frigid November with 3C deficit, december was 7C above the normals here, and January should end with a 4C deficit.

For sure it is possible to go outside with a -40/-50C cold. Last week, I walked the dogs with temperatures ranging -40/-47, and it was possible. Ad cmichweather mentions it, you should protect your mouth and nose and not take your breath directly, you should put some stuff between them and the frigid air. For everything else (pants, jackets, gloves, bonnet), you have perfect clothes here to go outside... -53C this morning in Old Crow .... brrrrrrrrrr !

Hello everybody, My weather station is back ! I had a problem with my datalogger, and replaced it with the weatherlinkip version. -27.6C now, -33.6/-19.8 for today !

Thanks thebiggrmbalski ! It is not always like this, but I try to take life as it comes and to be positive... Our subdivision is 20 kms north from downtown Whitehorse. My neighbors are 50 meters right and left and 300 meters north from my house. We are not isolated but the land is large enough (4 acres) to feel quiet. I am located at 660m, but Vista Road is between 770/1070, Fish Lake 1110/1500 and Grey Mountain 870/1500. The area is mountainous, with big valleys, and peaks up to 2000m.

Good evening everybody, Cold snap is over, but we are still having cold temperatures -30/-20 for today. Here is a link to some pictures of last week cold: http://meteowhitehorse.ca/wxalbumWinter2011-12.php We now have -25C, tomorrow some snow and it will warm up to -12/-14C. Here are some pictures of sunset I took near my place yesterday:

Hello everybody -42.1/-32.5 -46.4/-36.0 -40.8/-32.1 -40.4/-31.4 -44.1/-34.3 and -44.8 for this morning, our 6th day with a low below -40C. This cold snap is really interesting., Upcoming days will be a bit different, with warmer temperatures and some snow. We may expect the cold to come back on Thursday. I will post some pictures this weekend to give you an idea about the conditions uphere !

Good morning everybody, Cold surprised me this morning with far lower values than expected in the territory: Dawson -45.3C Old Crow -43.9 Beaver Creek -43 (do not have the exact) Carmacks -42.6 At my place -42.1C ! Here are some pictures I took this morning at sunrise, with some ice crystals fog
