Several provinces in the Andalusia region remain under a snow warning following a \u201cwintry\u201d weekend, according to the Spanish weather authority Aemet, after Storm Monica caused heavy snowfall, strong winds and\/or rough seas.

A sixth is still missing and an intensive search is underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has been snowing heavily in the Alps recently, a fact barely reported by the warmth-addicted mainstream. In Macugnaga, Italy, for example, another 75 cm of fresh snow fell on Sunday, with more than 3 m accumulating at altitude.<br>Despite claims to the contrary by the MSM, this has been a good snow season for the European mountains, with most peaks and ski resorts above average in terms of snowfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Western Canadian cold wave costs 180 million dollars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), the extreme cold snap in Western Canada in January led to insured losses of at least 180 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, initial estimates indicate that most of the damage was to personal property, such as water damage from burst pipes. These estimates do not include the \u201ccatastrophic losses\u201d suffered by many farmers in places like the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, where grape growers lost their entire crop this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brutal mid-January freeze dropped temperatures to a \u201cdeadly\u201d -27\u00b0C in key wine-growing regions in B.C.\u2019s southern interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A February report from Wine Growers BC said it expected an \u201calmost complete write-off of the 2024 vintage\u201d with $346 million in lost revenue for vineyards and wineries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was an unusual winter season with extreme variability in conditions across the country,\u201d said Rob de Pruis of the IBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>West gets buried by March snowstorms\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a matter of days, a series of snowstorms that battered the Sierra Nevada changed the outlook for water supplies from a \u201c1,200-year megadrought\u201d to \u201chelp, we\u2019re all going to drown,\u201d according to federal resource managers (I\u2019m paraphrasing a bit here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a four-day snowstorm that began on Leap Day, the snowpack in the Eastern Sierra increased by a record-breaking 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of the heavy snowstorm, above-average snowpacks were measured in the California and Nevada basins \u2013 a twist of fate that caused vehicles to get stuck and highways to be closed between the two states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to official data, the intensity of the four-day snowstorm was also among the strongest ever recorded. Since 1981, only three storms have brought more snow over four days than this year\u2019s blizzard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nevada<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevada also benefited from the increased snowfall in the Great Basin. Snow levels in the Upper Colorado Basin, for example, are now at 105% of normal. In addition, last year\u2019s record snowpack has continued to buffer Nevada\u2019s reservoirs and \u201callowed for some carryover,\u201d according to Thomas Albright, interim climatologist for the state of Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increasing snowpack this year could actually bring a longer period of rain (of more than two years in a row) for the first time this century, said Dan McEvoy of the Western Regional Climate Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve had more events since 2000, with some of the wettest and driest years on record in the last decade alone, but no consecutive trends,\u201d McEvoy added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Utah<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Alta ski area in northern Utah has also seen good snowfall in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After last year\u2019s record snowfall, it may come as a surprise to hear that the snowpack on March 1, 2024 was actually two centimeters deeper than March 1, 2023 (386 cm) and only 4 centimeters away from beating the resort\u2019s February record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alta averaged over 13.5 cm of snow per day last month, making it the third snowiest February on record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSevere snowfall\u201d in Portugal<br>The Portuguese ski resort of Serra da Estrela reports that it has \u201cthe best conditions in years\u201d after the \u201cenormous snowfall\u201d over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like most ski resorts in Europe, Serra da Estrela is experiencing a kind of post-season deluge, as a huge storm from Friday to Sunday buried lifts and buildings under meters of snow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serra da Estrela after a snowstorm in March 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the access

the world is doing exceptionally well, considering that this is the \u201chottest year in the last 125,000 years\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official data shows that Arctic

It brought more than 90 cm of snow to the higher elevations by Thursday evening, with another 60 cm expected by Friday morning. In Denver itself, about 20 cm fell on Thursday and another 25 cm is expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loveland Ski Area announced that it is closed. The other is Eldora Mountain \u201cbecause the plow and grader cannot access the slopes on Shelf Road.\u201d According to a release from the area, at least one day of work is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the first time in over 20 years that Eldora has been closed due to snow.
