  1. Two bands of heavy rain came through today. Each lasting about 1/2 hour. Daily high temperature was a record low for the day. 20 degrees below normal. Blizzard conditions, total white-out in the mountains.

    The last snow survey last weekend showed 149% of normal snow-pack. The previous survey a month ago was at 95%.

  2. It started raining here about midnight last night and let up around noon today... after which the temperature dipped precipitously from cold to really cold, even in full sunlight. There are reports all over the place about outrageously unseasonable snow... in places you don't ever associate with snow, even in the winter.

    This could be the ice age they've been warning the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere would bring on... just way earlier than predicted. It, however, DOES comport with the Greenland ice core samples that have stated plainly we are due for an ice age.

    Whatever. I am dirt positive I have never in my life experienced such a cold springtime... not even close. It's as though someone flipped a switch.

  3. I also think it's salient to note the Native American response to the "Little Ice Age" and contrast it with all the Western "Civilization" shit about the conduct to expect in such straits.

    I also hope people NOTICE that far from the illiteracy and savagery we have been taught inhabited North America before the "civilizing" influence of wasichu, the civilized ones were the ones slaughtered by the invading hordes.

  4. Yesterday's high of 57 was a new record low, beating the old record by 3 degrees and 23 degrees below normal.

    Snow fell last night down to 3,000 feet. This mornings low temperatures are breaking records all over the place, many only a degree or two above freezing.

    I had to turn on the heater this morning as it was 58 in the house. I had to relight the pilot which had been turned off over a month ago.
