Ambient air might be above freezing, but the piles of snow in the shade are still below freezing.

At 20°C!? Is this some kind of Df climate thing that I'm too Cf to understand?

Welcome to Chinooks in Calgary.

My condolences. That does not look fun in summer.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Gets funner, we have Microclimates too. Some communities can grow gourds, while others are just shit out of luck without greenhouses.

I’m oversimplifying, but gets the point across.

Yup. The big piles don't melt until July.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Don’t forget the piles from the ice rinks never melt!
