powderfreak Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 BSE continues in Scandinavia... An inch or two of fresh June snow in the driveway of the hut in Norway. Elevation is around 3,000ft above sea level. Not even worth shoveling it at this point in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Long range does look warm, aside from details like fronts nearby and the chance of onshore flow at times. IMO, that could be possible with the heat dome to our west....but the overall pattern is mild to warm imo. Probably a few very warm days thrown in. Don't really see Kevin's death ridge quite yet...lol, but warm anyways. SOunds good Scooter, west is best for sure. How was the game last night, tough loss but hope you had a good time.

Salty's home run in the 9th to tie it up caused the place to go nuts. Too bad they didn't win, but they kept showing the Celtics game which was awesome.

I mean, it's not the most torch pattern we've seen..but they will be closer to the heat plume. It's all relative. It's obviously going to be cooler above 1000ft, or if they have e-se winds which they might for a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wow nice PF. What the heck are you doing there BTW? Just traveling around... I'm coming back today. Been in Europe for a month now, visiting mountains from Romania to near the Arctic Circle. If anyone hasn't guessed, I sort of like mountains Its been an awesome trip... something I'll never forget. Anyway, I gotta say Norway was the winner for me. My grandparents were born in Norway and immigrated to the States in the 40s and 50s. I've always wanted to go see where the family lives back home (still have cousins and aunts/uncles that live in Norway), and I now know why I've got this skiing/snow/mountain passion in my blood. Even here in early June, pretty much anything over 2,500ft has some substantial snow cover... and where the passes go up over 4,000ft, it is just utterly ridiculous. Apparently they get like 600" of coastal wet snow from moist flow off the North Sea into terrain that goes from sea level up to over 6,000ft. This is as close to a glacier/ice age as you can get without actually being one. The snow melts for a couple weeks per year in late August before the snowpack starts building again. A June snowbank in Norway... 4,000ft elevation... *not that high* in the grand scheme of things. Not that is what BSE should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously going to be cooler above 1000ft, or if they have e-se winds which they might for a day or two. Compared to what we have endured the last year, this will be relatively mild, especially since climo is getting warmer and eastern areas could and will likely seabreeze. Still the fact that this month will once again be above normal, despite the frigid start is impressive. When will it end, when will it end? Weak nino east based nao, its going to be a long long winter for many, again. We have been so spoiled and lucky the last decade, reality check time for the coast I think.

CapturedNature Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 ... A June snowbank in Norway... Not that is what BSE should be. Awesome pics! Reminds me of some I've seen from up in Labrador: http://tlhwy.com/winter/index.html The Pac NW get's like that. I was there in May once and was amazed at the walls of snow on the roadways. It was like driving through tunnels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's nothing better for a snow lover than driving through tunnels of snow. I was just amazed at the amount left in June and not like on the high peaks but at like relatively well traveled areas. Here's one more out-the-windshield photo... 1,030 meters above sea level. Not all that high up all things considered but still significant snow. And even down low you'd have green leaves on the trees and still melting winter snow on the ground.

Ginx snewx Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Problem is lots of spoiled folks, boring stretches are going to happen. We can not have tornado's, tropical storms, freak fall snowstorms and earthquakes every year. when the return of the nor'easter takes hold in the fall the boring period will come to a dramatic end.

powderfreak Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I feel bad for the grass trying to live under all that. If I get a cat, I'm naming it Djupvasshytta. hytta means like camp/cabin I know that much. I think from an ecological point of view Norway was the coolest European country I visited. The flora and fauna were more tied to the solar cycle instead of ground conditions. I mean when you have flowering, blooming, and leafed out trees sitting in snowpack it just doesn't make sense. I've got some more I can post later but leafed out trees with still 1-4 feet of snow on the forest floor still doesn't really make sense to me. I mean that ground has to still be somewhat frozen but yet there's daylight for 20 hours or more a day now...so the trees seem to bloom and grow regardless of snow and ice on the still on the ground from winter.
