MORE SNOW RECORDS DESPITE AL GORE AND AGW

OREGON MAIL TRIBUNE:
... storms have brought abundant snow all over the Southern Oregon Cascades and Siskiyous.

The snow depth at the Siskiyou Summit (elevation 4,600 feet) on Jan. 31 was 65 inches, more than three times the average depth of 19 inches for the end of January, and the most ever measured at that site since record-keeping began in 1935.

The water content of the snow (18.4 inches) also set a record: It was 347 percent of the end-of-January average.


Two other sites within a mile of the Mount Ashland summit had about 160 percent of average snow depth for the end of January and 140 percent of average water content, said Steve Johnson of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.

Johnson worked in blizzard conditions Thursday to measure the snow.

"It was quite a day, with snow falling at two inches per hour," Johnson said. "The road was like coming west in 1840."

As of Friday, Crater Lake National Park had received a total of 348 inches of snow since October, 65 inches more than the average, and 127 inches of snow were on the ground at park headquarters.

On Sunday, the Rogue and Umpqua basins had a combined average snow water content of 152 percent of normal, and every basin in Oregon had at least 100 percent of average snow water content.

By Sunday morning, the Mount Ashland ski area had received more than 240 inches of snow for the winter, 80 percent of its annual average of about 300 inches, and there are 10 weeks of skiing still to come.
MORE SNOW THAN NORMAL - DESPITE HIGHER ATMOSPHERIC CO2 CONTENT.
  • AGW = BS.
  • AL GORE: STFU.

THIS IS ANOTHER REASON NOT TO NOMINATE MCCAIN: HE BELIEVES IN THE MAN-MADE GLBAL-WARMING NONSENSE - AND WILL RAISE TAXES TO STOP IT.
