Part of Mount Baker road won't be opened (50 feet snow -- Global Warming HA)
The Seattle Times ^ | June 30, 2011 | Seattle Times Staff

Snow 50 feet deep still buries the road to Artist Point at Mount Baker and that will keep the upper portion of the road closed all summer.

"We found snow 50-plus feet deep near the upper parking lot," said Theo Donk, state Department of Transportation (WSDOT) supervisor, who made a trek to Artist Point on Wednesday. "This is the deepest snow I've seen since the world-record year 1999, when the highway didn't open for the summer."

I might believe that if a snowflake told me so.

I drove to Lewiston and back last weekend. Wind turbines are practically all you see to and from. Oh, the Blue Mountains are still there but the windmills are a distraction.

Make sure you check your stats before dissing the NWS

What kills me is how Oregon has handed out tens of millions in incentives for wind generators, and every stinking one of them has a contract to provide all of their power for a decade to California...

Good thing the weather doesn’t just stay NORMAL and never change.

We’d all be dead.

We’re headed for the Tetons, Jackson Hole and Yellowstone in three weeks. I hear there is a lot of snow on the trails.

De-fund the NWS

Yeah, that would be tempting. Now that Chinook Pass is open it is actually accessible to me. Otherwise I have to drive over I-90 past Mt. Rainier and then come back east again. Actually am planning to ski the Palmer snowfield at Mt. Hood this summer.

It’s not challenging at all, but OK if you want to ski in the warm sun.

if snow is like rain and starts with a particle, snow should be able to tell you where it came from, yes???

One of my coworkers just came back from a family trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Several of the passes are still closed due to snow.

Probably seems real strange to people in Charleston and Houston and different places that we’re talking about going snow skiing this month or next and not in the southern hemisphere. I noticed that Juneau’s ski resort closed way back a couple months ago tho.

Just was over by Mt. Rainier the other day. They have the biggest snow plows and snow blowers I’ve ever seen. They’re still clearing the roads.
