De laatste dagen werden daar minima tot -9,0º gemeten en er ligt nu 9 centimeter sneeuw. Juli is in een groot deel van Nunavut aan de koude kant geweest. Resolute had een gemiddelde temperatuur van 3,2 tegen normaal 4,0º en de hoogste temperatuur bedroeg 11,0º; in Eureka werd het halverwege de maand 12,8º.

quote:Winterlike Storm Threatens Major Flooding in Northwest
The first powerful winterlike storm of the season will take aim on the Pacific Northwest this weekend into Monday with potentially disastrous flooding, damaging winds and dangerous seas.
The storm will cross Alaska Thursday with gusty winds, rain and mountain snow, but will grow into a monster over the Gulf of Alaska Friday, where it will stall over the weekend. Winds of 40 to 60 mph will roar over the ocean raising 15- to 30-foot seas.
As the storm expands southward and eastward, it will spread heavy rain, flooding, travel delays, high winds, pounding surf and rough seas first to British Columbia, then to Washington and Oregon and finally to northernmost California.
The worst conditions are likely to stay north of California, and will instead target areas farther north on Saturday with another heavy dose later Sunday into Sunday night. The pulse of rain Sunday night will be associated with some of the leftover moisture from the former Western Pacific Typhoon Pabuk that brushed near Japan this past week.

Rain, Flooding
Enough rain will fall to cause urban flooding and small stream flooding, rockslides and rises on the major rivers. Flooding along the short-run rivers off the Olympics and Cascades is possible later this weekend.
Rounds of windswept rain, urban flooding and poor visibility will lead to travel delays along the I-5 corridor and potentially at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and others.
The heaviest rain, on the order of 4 to 8 inches (up to 200 mm) will fall on the southwest-facing slopes of the Olympics and Cascades in Washington and the Vancouver Island Ranges Coast Mountains in British Columbia.
Elsewhere, from western Oregon through western British Columbia, a general 2 to 4 inches of rain is forecast. Much less rain will fall over central and eastern Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, but some rain will fall on these areas. Enough rain could fall to end the risk of wildfires once and for all this season.
Rounds of heavy rain and gusty winds may be a factor for college football games in Seattle, Eugene and Corvallis, Ore., and other locations in the region. The Huskies, Ducks, Beavers and Cougars are all at home Saturday.

Wind
South-to-southwest winds can be strong enough to down some trees, cause minor property damage and lead to power outages.
Wind gusts along the northwestern part of Vancouver Island and parts of the Washington and British Columbia coasts can reach between 50 and 60 mph. Gusts can be locally higher on the ridges.
Because of the wind direction from the south and southwest, this will not be the worst-case scenario for Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia, Wash., and Portland, Ore.
Snow
Unlike many storms in the winter, snow levels with this storm will remain rather high ranging from 7,000 to 8,500 feet.
According to Meteorologist Brian Thompson, "Accumulating snow will generally remain above the passes, including Snoqualmie and I-90."
Snow levels will drop during the latter stages of the storm, Sunday night and Monday, when wet snow can mix in over the higher passes. However, hikers should avoid the peaks in the Cascades throughout the storm, where blizzard conditions are likely.
Seas
Small craft should remain in port or within protective areas of the bays and straits of Georgia and Juan de Fuca.
While seas will be very rough offshore, the south-to-southwest wind driving the waves will not bring the worst-case scenario to most coastal areas in terms of pounding surf and coastal erosion.
In some cases, the wind-wave action will be parallel to the coast. However, the worst effects are likely to be along the upper half of Vancouver Island that is exposed to south to southwest winds.
Record Wet September Possible
Enough rain could fall at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for this September to rank in the top-five wettest on record. According to the National Weather Service, the wettest September on record at the airport was in 1978, when 5.95 inches fell. As of Thursday, Sept, 26, 2013, 3.03 inches of rain have fallen at the site. This September could be the new record-holder.
Similarly, Olympia Airport, Wash., could achieve a top five or record rainfall for September. In 1978, the month brought a record 7.59 inches. The fifth-wettest September was in 1977, when 4.58 inches fell. As of Thursday, 3.92 inches of rain have fallen at the site.

quote:Arctic Air to Bring the First Snowflakes to Philly, NYC
With the start of astronomical winter still a little over a month away, it will feel a lot more like December than November across a large part of the Northeast into midweek.
A bitter cold air mass that has been building across Canada has become dislodged from the Arctic, and the bulk of this air will sweep across the northeastern United States starting on Tuesday.
The coldest temperatures will be on Tuesday and Wednesday as the winterlike chill spills into the Northeast behind an arctic cold front.
High temperatures from Washington, D.C., northward to Philadelphia, New York City and Boston will fail to get out of the 40s, and areas farther inland will not even make it out of the 30s. On Tuesday night, the first below-freezing temperatures are likely from Washington, D.C., to New York City.
In addition to the cold temperatures, New York City and Philadelphia can see their first snowflakes of the season on Tuesday.
Gusty northwest winds will accompany this cold air mass and make it feel even colder, especially on Tuesday. AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures will not get above 30 degrees from the Appalachians to northern New England.
Jeff Mastersquote:Winter Storm Boreas a heavy rain event for the coast
A powerful and very wet winter storm will slog across the Southeast U.S. Monday and Tuesday and up the Mid-Atlantic coast on Wednesday. The models have come into fair agreement that the storm, dubbed "Boreas", will be a heavy rain event for coastal New England and the Mid-Atlantic, with snow falling inland at higher elevations. The greatest snows of 6+ inches will likely fall on Tuesday through Wednesday in Southwest New York and Northwest Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh and Buffalo are under Winter Storm Watches, and could see 3 - 5" of snow, snarling travel on the busiest travel day of the year.
http://janvissersweer.nl/quote:Sneeuwstorm treft grote delen van de VS: van de Midwest tot in New Engeland voel regionaal meer dan 40 centimeter sneeuw. In Canada kouder dan in Siberië! In Europa koud op IJsland.
Tijdens het afgelopen weekeinde hebben grote delen van de Verenigde Staten te maken gehad met een sneeuwstorm. De sneeuwstorm deed zich gelden van Missouri tot in Maine ofwel van de Midwest tot in New Engeland. Plaatselijk is tot meer dan 40 centimeter sneeuw gevallen. Zo kreeg Biddeford in Maine 42 en Woodford in Vermont 43 centimeter sneeuw te verstouwen. De sneeuwstorm ontregelde op veel snelwegen (interstates) het verkeer en het vliegverkeer op onder meer JFK International Airport in New York kreeg te maken met vertragingen tot meer dan 2.5 uur.
Verder wederom zeer lage temperaturen in vooral het noorden van de staat Minnesota. Nabij de Canadese grens ging International Falls zondag onderuit naar -35,6º. In delen van Canada (onder meer in Manitoba, Ontario en Quebec) is de kou extreem. Lac Benoit in het noorden van Quebec rapporteerde in de nacht van vrijdag op zaterdag -44,0º; vanochtend meldde Britt in Ontario -43,4º. Zulke lage minima worden dezer dagen zelfs in Siberië niet gemeten! In de nacht van zondag op maandag was het achter de Oeral nergens kouder dan -40,1º in Verchojansk.
