Your Weather, 2026

What a winter, coldest and snowiest I can remember in a long while. Gonna be -33C/ -27F tonight and tomorrow night. There has been a lot of -30ish weather. Thank heavens we have space on both sides of the driveway for the snow, because I can see the spark of snow wars in the distance with some of the neighbors whose driveways abut one another. Really lots of snow this year and people are running out of places to pile it. Some of the front yard trees are piled right up to the canopy. I can't help but wonder if that's bad for the trees.

[piled up snow] I can't help but wonder if that's bad for the trees.

i don't think so as there are trees growing in places on mountains that get a lot of snow up to the tree line. that's the point where trees can't persist because they can't grow enough (too cold for too long).

if the piled enough snow to last a lot longer it would probably kill the trees but that would take a lot of snow at lower elevations.

with a warmer climate the treeline has changed in some places by hundreds of feet.
