...and after spending a few days with snowdepth around 0~1cm, the airport has bounced back up to 4cm.Stony Plain is at 7cm, Blatchford is at 26cm, and Elk Island is still way up at 41cm.https://public.tableau.com/shared/HD9KRSP5D?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

...the past few days have certainly felt springlike, but they were definitely a little above average.Our average High right now is around 4°C, and average Low is -6°C. So the next few day will probably be back below average.https://public.tableau.com/shared/KQ2WR6GWW?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

March 18th saw big drops in snowdepth at the local stations, with the airport getting down to 3cm. #yegwx #yegAll of the rain that we're getting today will probably take another big chunk out of it.https://public.tableau.com/shared/QKZ45BGDN?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

...there's always a bit of lag in Environment Canada's snowdepth measurements.We saw a tiny drop at all of the stations on the 17th, but with temperatures staying warm overnight we'll probably see a big drop soon.https://public.tableau.com/shared/D68239H97?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

...in terms of snow on the ground, we're often snowfree by the end of March or beginning of April.So in an early year that's a week or 2 away, but in a late year it's maybe 4 or 5.https://public.tableau.com/shared/YYFTW5CKM?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Winter definitely isn't over (our only month to never record snow is July, so is winter every truly over...?).But we should be done with the deep-winter portion of it.So let's take a quick look back at that.https://edmontonweathernerdery.blogspot.com/2026/03/deepwinter-2025-2026-review.html#yegwx #yeg

Some #yegwx talk about freeze-thaw cycles with CBC Edmonton:https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/412-the-loop/episode/16202372-whats-going-on-with-edmontons-freeze-thaw-cycles

-18°C this morning does not feel fair. #yegwx #yegBut unfortunately after the first week of March we still got to -20°C in 2020, 2018, 2017, 2013...And Lows around -17°C crept in in 2025, 2023, 2014...Hopefully we're near the end.https://public.tableau.com/shared/3GNTMJ84X?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Regardless of what happens today, in March we average 20cm of snow. That's the same as November, December & January.So March is solidly one of our main snow months.And even April averages 14cm, which is the same as February...#yegwx #yeghttps://public.tableau.com/shared/HRZBXZSWK?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

It doesn't feel fair, but early March is often just February II: The Revenge.It usually stops around the first week, but it's thrown -20°C (and -25°C and -30°) at us in 2024, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2014, 2013...So this week's -17°C could be worse. #yegwx #yeghttps://public.tableau.com/shared/6F5NXNKBK?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

February 28th is our 25th 20°C Low of the winter. #yegwx #yegThat's basically average, although the only recent winter which had more was 2021-2022's 32.https://public.tableau.com/shared/GH26CQX8D?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link
