Is it snowing anywhere right now? (usa and canada)

its snowing where i am (prairies) not super hard but its coming down, we could have quite a bit by now but everytime it snows a warm south wind comes and it all melts, hopefully this is it!
 
not in southwest mt, although ive been enjoying the bluebird everyday, hoping to get some in the next few days
 
Seattle has had 0.03" of rain so far in December...

Yea, it is fucking bone dry. That mondo high pressure in the eastern Pacific is BRUTAL. However, the same shit happened last year in January in to February, and then it finally just started pissing rain day in & day out.
 
we have snow om the ground in sputhern ontario its beem here for about a week
now... horsheo opened last night ..st.lois and blue are plannning for this comming weekend of the 18th but there is two days of rain and warm weather in the forcast for wednesday and thursday. once we get past those days it will get cold again and the ski seaspn shoulf hopefully begin here in ontario!
 
Fuck this winter. I'm calling it, quitting skiing for the next year, moving to fl where at least it's warm and dry, and cookin in the sun.
 
It was snowing in some parts of Wisconsin but there's a lot of snow be blown at my local hill.
 
we have been getting dumped on for the last two weeks here in northern NM...i think we got about 5 inches last night and we are supposed to get another 5 today into tomorrow. looks like it could be a pretty awesome season down here!!
 
It's finally snowing a little bit in Utah. Nothing significant, but better than the bluebird days we've had the last month.
 
Europe. Fuck yeah. Finally I'm not jealous of you fuckers across the pond.

Oh well, payback I guess. We got maybe 2.5 meters, you got 20+ on a lot of resorts...
 
Alyeska AK just got 104cm in like 24 hours the bastards hopefully that storm heads down into the rockiees. So jealous they weren't even open yesterday because of to much snow.
 
what the fuck...theres 6cms of snow forcasted within this whole next week for whistler after not having snow for like a week before that...la nina where are you?
 
haha ak is getting fucking pounded. 270 inches since october 1st, 40 inches two nights ago, and snow everyday in the forecast for the next 6 days.
 
salt lake just got some dust this morning. nothing to write home about but at least it cleared up the toxic waste that has been our breathing air.
 
ak is gay. when it does snow like this, cause it's pretty rare, it shuts down the resort (alyeska) cause it's a pos. They need to get their shit together. i waited around till 1, until they finally announced they were not going to open that day due to 47' of snowfall. pussies. then i hit up the bc. When we do have a good pow day it gets skied out in like an hour. We only have one resort for a city of 400,000 people..... it's all about the urban up here. Fuck alyeska, they charge $1100 for a seasons, for a resort 1/4 the size of resorts that charge $500.
 
this. we got a tiny tiny dusting in the city on in the mt's last night around spokane. tomorrow and tomorrow night is supposed to bring a little bit of fresh.
 
found this on tgr. those weather threads are the only useful thing on there....

The last few weeks, since the snow stopped, a positive phase Arctic Oscillation occurred that is approximate to the record for the last 60 observed years. The polar vortex, the pool of low pressure atop the globe, has literally sucked the northern storm track away from the lower 48. For the central rockies, potent low pressure in the polar vortex trumps typical La Nina jet stream patterns and turns our wet pinapple express into a dry alberta clipper that steers around us. We need the storm track to migrate south and displace the blocking ridge established in the east pacific. Unfortunate us, this trend does not yet show signs of significant weakening and the current prediction from NOAA is that the AO positive signal will reamplify back to near record levels over the next two weeks before returning to neutral or negative trend. If this forecast is correct, we can expect the current high and dry to continue into January because there is usually a 1-2 week lag from signal change to results in the lower 48. We'll get some modest snowfall here and there but the probability for a big multi-day system to fill things in is low until the AO flips negative and holds there for a week. Prolonged snowy weather in the mid-latitudes of north america correlates strongly with negative AO phase. If you got holiday plans for the Tetons (central rockies, in general), you might want to reconsider or, at least, leave your new skis/boards at home. Sure hope this is wrong, but it is hard to ignore the effects of such an anomalous factor like an AO positive phase 60 year event.
