February 2021 Forecasts and Discussions

This winter sucked big time! Worst winter here in a very long time. If winter is over then bring on summer, boating fishing dirt biking! Wind storms thunder storms something better than this boring depressing crap. It is dreary outside, some slush covered grass and cloudy skies. I assume winter is done, good riddance to you.

You forgot quadding..just saying

I have seen increased chatter on Twitter about this over the last ~week. The consensus from the leading atmospheric scientists seems to be that Global Warming is causing a decreased frequency of arctic outbreaks, but Kristi Gordon says it is causing increased frequency of Arctic Outbreaks.

What arctic air?

Looks like another extended snowmobiling season for the Hawk! Last year was sledding right from the cabin on April 7 (i think) still in patchy snow pretty much up to the mountains..
A repeat is in order buttees!!!

Edit: Mountains was all powwwwwder and deeeeeeep.

I hope Summer will be smokeless if this happens.

I am going to have to agree with Cliff Mass on this one. Climate Change and warming would make the Texas event less likely to happen.

Only takes a week or two of heat. Especially since all the cut blocks around allow direct sunlight to burn right through any snowpack. 2018, record high snowpack before May, completely decimated by June.

Global warming has certainly made fire seasons worse but it’s only one ingredient that industry has added. You can throw flooding in there too. The modern forestry industry is a criminal industry in a just society. The amount of disease running through forests and creating deadwood build up would not be acceptable if not for our brainless leaders being beholden to these archaic ways of developing resources.

Sounds like you are an expert in forestry to! You should run for politics! So much wisdom is wasted as a teacher helper.

I hope so but California is still in a pretty significant drought, even with the big snowstorm a few weeks ago.

Doesn’t take much wisdom to see what damage is being done by these vast swaths of cutblocks. Just drive over the Coquihala to see all of the diseased and dying forests. Ive also gone backcountry camping a lot and seen it first hand.
Have I offended you in some way? This is at least somewhat relevant to weather, unlike when you randomly trashed every teacher as lazy and entitled for no reason at all.

Wow. Cherry blossoms are already out.

Don't mind him. Climate change doesn't exist if you read his old posts

I don’t think every teacher is lazy at all.

I don’t like clear cutting either but not an expert

It is well known that deforestation can lead to desertification. Groundwater retention is reduced leading to dry top soil and dead vegitation. My 2nd year field research team noted that the diurnal temperature swings were greater in deforested areas (we had a control site where we shaded the readers). This is science that has been peer reviewed and proven countless times.
