Record Breaking Weather

[Wonky3]

Now THIS is "Record Breaking Weather" news I can use. It's local, and we may feel the results of this come August when the Rogue water level dips lower and lower.

Crater Lake hits record for low snow

What? they have only been keeping records since 1931? How can you deduce anything from such a tiny slice?
This info can't can't be worth a whole lot because it's such a short sample.




Crater lake been there for some hundreds of thousands of years. (More?)

So does anyone really know what the "normal" weather is like there?

So, that it's less snow than "usual" is kind of misleading because we really don't know what "usual" is. A 100 year sample in many hundreds of thousands of years ain't worth spit.

Hey this is HOME!

He He. Anyways what's the big deal? Who cares if there is snow a Crater lake? I mean no one goes up there but foreighnors, fourenors...um people from out of town.

Many tourists stop in our valley for a meal, maybe a beer, or even paying for a motel room. We like their money. (Screw the ones who approach from the north)

And, we need the run-off from lots of snow. How would you like to drift down the Rogue in an inner tube in only 3 inches of water?

And (please don't tell anyone else) I buried one of my ex-wives in a snow bank there a few years ago and damned if I want her exposed in the melt. Ugly enough in real life, she would be impossible to look at now. An NO! I didn't knock her off...they wanted 800 bucks to put her in the ground here in town. Only spent about 4 bucks for gas to dump her in the snowbank. Good woman, all things considered, but money is money, right?
