@NotOnlySelfLover The sky looks like snow sky this evening and it was kind of misting earlier. I imagine we'll see snow in the next few weeks.

@wynternight777 I hope you get snow soon. Here in Europe, we had snow in the utmost North, and the temperate latitudes are quite cold and rainy now. We had 49°F in Germany, which is not much beyond the summer temperatures of tundra. I don't even want to think what it would be like if the fall we have now should last until next spring (which is possible in West Europe).

@NotOnlySelfLover It can snow in Barrow every month and in fact has been known to snow on 4th of July. Friends of mine have told funny stories of cooking outside as it snows and sending film to friends.

I'm looking forward to the snow coming, the temps have been variable since I arrived.

@ncuxap12444 I don't really know, but I've read that October, which is when this video was made, is indeed the snowiest month of the year. Barrow indeed doesn't get THAT much snow. i think this is the reason why a lasting snow cover does not establish until October, although the daily mean temperature is below zero by the 20s of September. There are snows in September - sometimes even in summer - but they are so few that they cannot prevent the temperature from rising above zero. I think.

@Mr2pacalypse Ok, you're obviously an idiot with more bad attitude then knowledge so allow me to school you: Deserts are defined as areas with an average annual precipitation of less than 250 millimetres (10 in) per year. Barrow, on the average, receives around five inches per year, this includes approximately 30" of snow (one inch of rain is approximately equal to twelve inches (305 mm) of snow). Second: I'll be in Barrow in about a month so I'll happily school you again.
