Out capping and taxing yo' BTU's, man.
The way I read this is that January was the largest snow cover ever recorded, since records began in 1966.
LAKE WENATCHEE — Experts say this winter is shaping up to be the worst avalanche season in more than 20 years.
"This avalanche up here at Lake Wenatchee is telling us what our avalanche forecasters have been saying: We're in extreme avalanche danger right now," said Greg Thayer of the Wenatchee River Ranger District.
The Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center in Seattle reported today that slides are occurring throughout the Northwest this week, including the Stevens Pass area.
"We're going to hear about a lot more avalanches here in the next week," he said. "It's going to be one of those situations where people need to stay away from the steep and the deep. Even in the town of Leavenworth, if there are any roofs on houses that haven't slid yet, children need to stay away because they are going to be sliding.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Idaho Department of Correction officials say heavy snow collapsed the roof of a gymnasium at North Idaho Correctional Institution in Cottonwood.
DURANGO, Colo. (CBS4) ― All the heavy snowfall has caused major problems in Durango after some roofs collapsed and an avalanche hit within city limits on Tuesday.
I know they always said that when I lived up in Syracuse lol
All this weird weather is because of La Nina, which is a particularly strong one this time.
Well kind of...it’s worse than we thought actually. It isn’t “global warming” anymore, it’s “climate change.” And this is far worse than just global warming. Man has so messed up the environment that it’s causing what I call, “enviro-confusion” on the part of the earth. You see, the earth doesn’t know what to do now. It’s out of control! It’s going to take more effort, more money and greater control of business in order to rein this in. And this has to happen faster than we ever thought before. That 10 year window Algore spoke about, is now down to 5 years. We don’t have much time...
Pay no attention to that spotless sun behind the curtain of snow clouds.
This is all Bush’s Fault.
gotta love that lake effect if yer gonna like there... 8^)
OK, that does it. I'm going to quit my job, cash in my savings, max out my credit cards and go live it up in the garden spots of the world. First stop...Monaco. Then Tuscany. I'll figure out where else to go from there. Woooohooooo!!
Well, there goes their afropognic theory.
Pretty much like it is here this time of year. For the moment, it's springlike...gorgeous, sunny and mild. In a few minutes, it could be chilly and drizzly. Heck, it could even snow...

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
I am going to be really dumb now and ask... If the records started in 1966, don’t we need a little more information over time to determine global climate et al? ...oh, nevermind.
