Winter 2020 Discussion Thread (Southern Hemisphere) (snowfall, icy, recorded, days)

[marlaver]

No love for the southern side of the World anymore?

After a boring autumn overall here (unlike in Australia, where May was the first below normal month in years), winter started like it is.

In Buenos Aires province some freeze during this morning:

Las Toninas




And widespread snow in the western side of the country during the last couple of days, first starting across Patagonia (Esquel had its first icy day on Jan 1st) and then going up north to Mendoza today:

Esquel


Maquinchao


Manzano Histórico


Malargüe

Talk about a waste due to Corona isolation. Las Leñas ski resort, as today

A chain of thunderstorms these last days here. And from next wednesday the models are seeing a LOT of cold day. Astronomical winter kicks in strong fashion.

Today was one of the coldest days in the last decade in many areas of Southern Patagonia.

Perito Moreno recorded daily extremes of -20.0°C / -1.0°C. Record lowest for June; all-time record is -25.7°C. Last report (21hs local time) was -15.7°C, about 5 degrees below yesterday at the same time, and it’s clear and no wind…

Gobernador Gregores recorded -15.0°C / -6.0°C; last report (21hs) was -13.2°C.

Also, quite a sequence in Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, being a coastal location:
Jun-25: -9.6°C / -3.2°C
Jun-26: -13.5°C / -3.0°C
Jun-27: -15.0°C / -2.5°C

Southern Patagonia is on fire (figuratively, of course).

Río Turbio recorded -21.8°C this morning.

Meanwhile, Río Grande is in the path of its fifth sub-freezing day in a row.

Right now, at noon, these are the current figures:
Río Turbio: -16.4°C
Río Grande: -12.5°C
Río Gallegos: -10.2°C
El Calafate: -7.8°C

All these “ríos” (rivers) must be frozen…

Amazing! And from what I see in the Ogimet readings in Río Grande there's been 6 days in a row with snow on the ground, when only in the first one there was a snowfall and the rest there were clear skies. That gives you an idea of the bitter cold those folks are experiencing:

Leading edge of this afternoon's front



Predicted to drop 1-4mm this afternoon, not much for a front.

Better shape in the 512km radar



Going hiking on the Bibbulmun Trail (longest popular trail in australia at 1000km+) this week, will send some photos next weekend.

Impressive cold&snow in Patagonia and the Andes.

Somewhere in Yakutia?? No, Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz province, where and icy day today with -6C/-13.6C extremes and freezing fog

And this is the central Andes, in the international pass of Pehuenche. It looks like up to 3 or 4 meters of snow. Someone said Hokkaido?
