What is the weather really like in Boise, Idaho? I moved to Boise from California almost 20 years ago, and it's nice to have a practical, honest review of the weather when you're considering moving to Boise. What are your questions about the weather in Boise?

Great video. Very helpful for people coming here or deciding whether to make the leap. I've actually only worn my winter coat a handful of times over the last decade. I seem to have a high tolerance for cold. I do however, strongly suggest a hat, scarf, warm gloves and appropriate footwear. For the winters, one thing that wasn't mentioned is that the snow is very often light and fluffy, so even if you do have to shovel, it isn't very hard. In fact, we even sometimes clear the parking lot at my office with a push broom instead of a shovel. And you DO want to clear your driveway if you have one that faces North. The sun is so far South in the winter that North facing driveways never get full sun, so when everything else melts, they stay frozen for days.

Thanks for your insights! That is true about the driveways.. I actually prefer the back of my house to the south so all my family room and kitchen gets all the warm southern winter sunshine. My first house I owned in Boise had a south driveway (great for no shoveling), but a north backyard, and that made my family room and kitchen dark and cold in the winter. So it's south backyards for me in Boise now. But I love the sun.

@@SummerAstonRealEstate Sun is rare in the winter. When there's any sunny weather in any season here, people get happy because it rains all the time. Winter is tough here. Not as tough as higher north but we start losing daylight and get only about 5 hours of light in the peak of winter. The snow turns wet really quick. Juneau is at sea level but we get snow in the winter and spring. No inversions here but just weather systems that produce rain, fog and mist. It's a rainforest region here in Southeast Alaska. I would say it's a warmer winter than Boise.

I don't even own shoes, lol. Okay, I do, but they are really really old.

I've always thought Boise's temperatures along with the four seasons might make Boise somewhat comparable to the weather in the midAtlantic states (I'm in Bucks County, a Phila. suburb.) However, the dry desert climate in Idaho no doubt makes the summers much more tolerable than the hot, humid summers we have here, in the mid-Atlantic. Idaho wins.

@@SummerAstonRealEstate Hi, Summer, thank you for your reply. I did a little research in the meantime, and learned that Pennsylvania has four distinct climate zones. Philadelphia and its suburbs are on the southeast Coastal plain, so the temperatures are very similar to Boise with one exception, which relates to what you said about the dry climate there. Philadelphia gets almost three times the amount of rain than Boise! Winter temperatures are comparable in both cities with almost the same average amount of snow fall, but summers in Boise tend to be a few - to several - degrees warmer. Phila. can be quite humid, making Boise's dry climate sound that much better to me, particularly in summer. Our 90 degree July days can feel like 110. So much for "averages," but just thought I'd mention this to you because Boise sounds like such a great place to live, and I'd love to escape these rainy days. (Honestly, though, I don't see it happening any time soon for me, but who knows?) Love your very informative videos! (and, for what it's worth, I'm not a liberal.)

Having lived in the Boise Valley most of my 70+ years I can wholeheartedly agree with you about those winter inversions...they can really suck! I've seen many winters where the inversions seemed to hang on forever. Week after week after week,. Everything seems to get covered in ice. The hoar frost on the tree limbs can be a couple of inches thick. Dull, dreary gray skies and no sun for a month or two just about drives a person to madness. Fortunately, the prolonged inversions aren't the norm, but 2-3 weeks at a time can be fairly common. And then you have the bitter cold winters that can hit . Occasionally with lows of -20 to -30 and highs of 10 to maybe 20 degrees for 2 to 4 weeks. I can remember many winters that from early November through late February the day time highs would seldom rise above freezing and lows from single digits to high teens. Winters in the Boise Valley can be highly variable. Several mild ones in a row followed by some really bad ones. Winters can be like a box of chocolate...you just never know.

Thanks for sharing your personal experience! Yes, the weather can be all over the place at times, and consistency of inversion is no different. It doesn't seem to be something that "gets worse" or happens more often with increasing population - it really seems to just be dependent on a particular weather pattern. I always think the hoar frost is a little sparkling gift in the middle of the grays and cold, but you know if we have hoar frost..it's frigid. But, overall, I think the variety of weather, seasons, gray inversions next to brilliantly blue sky days, hail, hoar frost coating every little twig and blade of grass, orange and gold autumns..all this variety is one of the things that make Boise such a beautiful place to live.

The weather here In Idaho any month of the year can change In a heartbeat, but spring Is the most unpredictable.. you can have rain snow sun wind & thunderstorms all In one day. The winters here use to be very very cold, but with climate change, that's all changed. When I was alittle girl, our winters were true winters.. snow from November Intill usually mid late March. I love living here, we have all 4 seasons & their beautiful! I live In Southern Idaho & summer to me Is very nice & warm.. early July to late August, very hot & dry Spring Is very rainy.. March thru late May.. June Is alittlr unpredictable.. you could have snow & rain & thunderstorms Fall Is absolutely beautiful here Warm days & cool nights 🌙 Wintertime now Is not as cold as use to be here In Twin falls, winter of 2017 was a beautiful snowy winter, but those days are hit & miss now with the patterns changing. Eastern Idaho gets more snow because of the Teton mountain range & higher elevation, same as wood river, better known as Ketchum/Sun Valley Idaho! Btw the summer nights here (July/August) can be very hot 🔥 Idaho to me Is a beautiful state & feel we are very blessed to live In state that Is safe, not high cost of living & a great place to raise your children.. the schools could be alittle better here IMHO, But overall, we're very lucky to live here In a conservative beautiful place ❤

Elias Limón Santana Both Congratulations! Austin and Boise have a great music scene and a bit of a different outdoor scene. Boise has 4 season recreation- camping, mountains, river rafting, rock climbing, skiing, desert hiking...and Boise is much more central to being able to explore the amazing outdoors of Utah, Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, etc... and all of their national parks. Austin has some outdoor water activities and biking but because it can get so hot, humid, and buggy, sometimes it’s harder to enjoy the outdoors there. Plus Austin is a very long way from mountains or any of the outdoors the west offers. Yes Boise gets some snow here and there but it’s not too bad. Very mild compared to places like Utah. I suggest you compare the cost of living including houses, income tax, property tax, etc...as well. If your main concern is a year round mild climate, then try Austin. If you would like to be close to experiencing everything the west has to offer and some the the best outdoor recreation in the world, and try something complete new, then try Boise! Good luck on your new adventure, wherever it takes you. That’s exciting.

I do too! Because people ask me about it all the time, so I am planning on collaborating with some other agents in other areas of Idaho to make some videos like mine for their areas. But the weather in Twin Falls is similar to Boise in the ups and downs...but they have a longer winter. They also have WIND! It is very very open there with the mountains being farther away, so they have more wind. They also have more snow too and more ice because it is generally colder there in the winter..but the springs, fall, and summer are similar to Boise. Idaho Falls has even more snow and ICE! Because it is often cold and windy there in the winter, the snow doesn't really melt like it does in Boise, and it just turns to ice. Idaho Falls is colder than Twin or Boise. They have even shorter summers and their springs and falls are cooler. They will have snow that could stay on the ground for many weeks, unlike Boise that usually just has snow that lasts for a few days and melts. But that being said, Twin Falls and Idaho Falls much smaller towns that Boise and are nice communities that have considerably less expensive housing than Boise area.

Twin Falls is very similar to Boise but without the inversions. As you head east up I-84 and I-86 the winters gradually get colder and snowier. Pocatello is much colder in the winter. Then as you head northeast up I-15 towards Yellowstone it gets colder. Idaho Falls and Rexburg are very cold in the winter-not as cold as the upper midwest-Minnesota's winters are much worse, but they are perhaps the coldest of the larger communities in the state with heavy snow that frequently gets several feet deep and with periods in January of below zero weather. However, summers in the eastern half of the state are amazing. Usually in the 70's from June through August, with some rare 90's and 100's in August. I'd take summer in Idaho Falls any time. The air stays clean and clear and the sky is beautiful. August brings afternoon thunderstorms with heavy downpours, especially in Pocatello. Pocatello's storms can be drenching and occasionally cause flash flooding in the surrounding mountains. Probably too late, but I hope this helps anyone else that may be reading and wondering.

great video! looking for ideas to move or visit eventually. I still live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Was weighing about staying in CA (but dont know where...), one of my sisters moved to Oregon, I thought about Nevada since my in laws are there and it's where my husband grew up in. The border of Washington and Idaho. I think I have to visit all these places more to get a better idea.

You won’t have to deal with it too much in Boise unless you drive to the ski resorts. Maybe a few times a year it snows a few inches so you can just stay home for a day until it melts or just drive more slowly. Of course 2016 was different-we had the most snow on record- so it’s a possibility- but you’ll figure out how to drive in the snow. It’s pretty mild here.

@@jamessamudio9913 People are selling for various reasons..to upgrade, to move into a rental while they build, maybe to downsize, etc...I know of some families that have sold to go live on a boat. It is an incredibly good seller's market. But even with that, we do not have even a fraction of inventory needed to meet the demand, and you are seeing some of that. While there are actually quite a few homes that are coming on the market, they sell within a day or two, and the competition is fierce. The number of sales has been much higher than in the past but our inventory is lower (because inventory is what actually stays on the market). But one thing to keep in mind is that if you are looking on a website like Zillow, often times there are inaccuracies..like zillow frequently does not show homes as pending when they are. Lots of new homes come on the market on Thursdays and Fridays, and then by Monday and Tuesday, those houses are usually all pending and a new batch comes on the market again for the weekend. It's part of our incredibly fast paced seller's market right now.

I’m sure it will happen again and I’m sure we’ll have summers without smoke again too.

@SummerAstonRealEstate
@SummerAstonRealEstate 4 жыл бұрын
Vanessa I’ve not been to Chicago in the winter, but from my understanding, Boise Winters are nothing like Chicago’s. We have a very “dry cold”, the air is very dry here in the winter. Some years we have almost no snow. The typical pattern is a couple inches of snow overnight and it melts by afternoon. This happens several times a winter. Once a winter we will get maybe 6-8” that stays for maybe a week. We typically don’t have much cold wind. The snow is often so dry you can’t make a snowball. This past winter we rarely dropped below 40 for a high. But we did have the record winter of 2016 where we got a few feet of snow which accumulated over several weeks and stayed till spring. But we don’t have snowstorms in the valley dump over a foot in one night. The coldest weeks are usually January and it can drop down to the tens and below zero for a low with teens and 20s for a high. Below ten degrees for a low is rare and will be “newsworthy”. Usually only lasts 2 weeks. Then goes back to 30-45 degree highs and 20-30 lows. Every winter is a little different here, but it is much, much more mild than Chicago winter.

Geir Balderson Eagle is essentially the same elevation as Boise as they border each other. So yes, Eagle gets the inversion. You have to get up to over about 5000 ft elevation to get above the inversion and there aren’t really any houses close to Boise at that elevation. You’d have to look into living in the mountain towns of places like McCall, Donnelly, Cascade, etc...to be out of the valley and at a higher elevation. They are about an hour and a half to two hours from Boise. But the inversion really only comes a week or two here and there in the winter.

Pullman is in Eastern Washington. Seattle is in Western. Anything east of the mountain range that separates the west wet side of Washington from the rest is basically eastern Washington because it’s much drier like much of Idaho is, besides snow in winter, and we don’t have much of that but sometimes it really does snow, especially if your driveway faces north and the snow won’t melt off and it must be shoveled immediately or it’s an ice slick for days.

Idaho air quality is getting worse, and the state is now home to several of the top 25 most polluted areas in the country, the American Lung Association's 2019 “State of the Air” report finds. ... No Idaho county in the report received higher than a “D” grade for particle pollution.Apr 24, 2019 American Lung Association › media Idaho Has Some of the Most-Polluted Areas in the ...” This is from Google and it is the source of my question So as you can see I am not imagining this it is apparently the situation because of smoke and particles coming from fires. From what I can tail Idaho and Boise and Eagle are awesome places to live but not at the expense of air pollution so I’m thinking/hoping maybe it is only occasional? I also heard it could have something to do with the winter inversion Again I cannot emphasize enough I am not trying to get into a tit for tat with you LOL. I am authentically interested in Idaho as a place to live but not if it is some kind of health risk.

Vicki Fell Thanks for asking. It happens most years. We did not have inversion this past winter. It just depends on the weather patterns. In a typical winter, it comes in January or February, and lasts for a few days. So you might have a week of it in January and then it clears out, and then we get another few days in February and then it clears out. One year in the 20 I have lived here, inversion lasted a few weeks straight. So it can happen. But generally it comes and goes in Jan and feb. Or you might get lucky like we did this winter and it didn’t come at all!

Well, I'm originally from Nebraska and moved to California. I Hate, Hate it here. But love the weather. We came here to be with family. I would never ever go back to NE ... The thing is, we all want to move and the main thing our son-in-law wants is a good private Christian school for their girls. He said Idaho has good ones. It would be a little over a year yet. It cools off in the evenings here. But I think it is hotter in the Sacramento Valley where you were. It can be in the '90s but still cool off at night. I was wondering about mosquitoes there. There aren't any here. Is it bad there? ... Yes, we hate the long dark winters here also. We also are afraid of Tornadoes. How often do you get them? ... I love the flowers here but dislike Palm Trees. I Have only been to Idaho when we used to go to Yellowstone in the summer. Do you have earthquakes? ... I love the beach but we are too far to fight the traffic to go that often. I do miss the open skies of Nebraska and the stary nights. It will not be up to me where they move it is just in the searching faze yet. But we go where they go. My choice would be an acreage. I'm sick of houses on both sides of us. In Nebraska, we lived on a lake and had a river in the back yard. Eagle, Deer other wildlife.

Thanks for the info! Many families are like yours and all move together. Here are some answers to your questions: Schools to took into: Cole Valley Christian, Ambrose Classical Christian, Petros Christian, and Capital Christian...there may be more. They are growing rapidly and adding on to their campuses with higher demand. Tornadoes: Pretty much never have them. Once a little one formed somewhere outside of town but they are very, very unusual here. Mosquitoes: Not a problem in town. If you are fishing in town at a pond in the evening, maybe wear bug spray, but it's not bad. You'll want bug spay if you are camping in the mountains, but again, usually it's not bad and with bug spray they stay away. Palm Trees: none in Idaho Flowers: Certainly not a tropical paradise, but roses, daisies, wildflowers, etc.. grow just fine. Starry Skies: Yes, even in Boise we can see the stars well, but especially if you get a half hour out of town the stars are great. Earthquakes: Until 2020 I would have said no earthquakes here. We did have an earthquake this spring. They have been very very rare, maybe one noticeable earthquake every 20 years. Location: depending on how far you want to be from town, you could get a property with space and water to look onto.

@@SummerAstonRealEstate Sounds good, the Classical Christian school is what they are used to. I just found out that means that the Bible is used in every class even if it is in a small way. Everything sounds wonderful. But, they are still in the looking stage. But the girls say Idaho when I talk to them. I said you won't have a pool. The looks of shock on the youngest one's face was funny! ... I added you can put one in.

HMM. Wisconsin Weather: January: Misery Feb Misery March Misery April Depressing (depressing is basically constant overcast days that are gloomy and even if the temperature is in the 50's there is a cold windchill that ruins any amount of would be comfort so you just end up staying inside.) May Nice if no rain. June Mosquitoes but nice during day. Can be humid. Many woulda been nice days ruined by rain. July Mosquitoes but nice during day. Can be humid. Many woulda been nice days ruined by rain. Aug Mosquitoes but nice during day. Can be humid. Many woulda been nice days ruined by rain. Sept Amazing Oct Half Amazing. kinda a coin flip Nov Depressing Dec Depressing followed by Misery to round out the year. I've been fanaticizing about moving. I still like the seasons but the winter and rain is excessive in Wisconsin where I live. It feels like Wisconsin is either too cold and snowy or ruined by rain and mosquitoes. I just take one look at the temperature by month of boise compared to madison and Madison gets like a months worth of days with rain over boise and Boise is around 5-15 degrees warmer at all points of the year (talking about the highs) with little to no rainfall/snow and actually has nice springs. It just seems to take out all extremes of Wisconsin and is centrally placed amongst the most beautiful scenic locations in the country. Love it. Edit: anything above 40 is basically shorts weather for me. even at 30 ill drive in shorts if its just going to the store.

Oh dear! Sounds like you need a long vacation to Hawaii or Florida and get some vitamin D an good sunshine :) But you are right, Boise has amazing weather for people that come from Wisconsin, the North East, etc...It seems as if Wisconsin is pretty green though... Boise is surrounded by high desert on on side and yellow grassy foothills on the other with the mountains in the distance.. the hills are green for a few weeks in the springs..although this year, we've had lots of sun, which is nice, but very little rain, so I"m not sure the hills will green up this year. But, that's what happens when we don't get as much rain as Wisconsin! So other than missing seeing green, you'd probably love the weather here.

By the way Boise has its roots in the French word Bois which means trees, which is what Frenchtrappers first saw where Boise now sits their comment was Bois which is as close as I can come with my French
