Meanwhile, in Glacier Natl Park

[Cray]

There looks to be no snow in amongst the trees as well, so I would call avalanche?

 

[CAPTAIN JACK]

went there last July, the summit/pass was closed due to 84" of snow, in JULY!

Global warming caused that avalanche!

This was taken in the same area in August 2009. THAT is a slide.

It's weird how the snow can be 40 feet deep in one area, and 100 yards away it can be bare. It always ends up in patches like that, usually in the low lying areas.

We've been in the 70s multiple times already as well. When I look at the weather, we are usually WARMER than Seattle. It takes MONTHS of 80 degree days to melt that much snow

Oh, I see now.

On a side note: I watched a documentary on Wolverines in Glacier National Park and they tracked a Wolverine that crossed the scaled and crossed the highest peak in the park in 90min... freakin awesome!

An update 1 month-ish later. As of today:

 

[SID297]

Yeah, I think I'll just stay at the beach.

Snow?

We only got 9.4 inches of rain!

Kyle, if we got that much snow up in the Sierras our drought would be over.

There are places that should have 36" of snowpack and currently have zero.

Can you fill the back of your pickup with snow and drive it over? And get 200 million of your closest friends to follow you?
