[tvguy]

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.

I BELIEVE Mt Mazama's eruption, which created Crater Lake, happened only about 6000 years ago. So from now on your opinion about ANYTHING shall be considered null and void.....

I just looked it up... 7700 years ago. http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2002/fs092-02/

I know you are kidding But I was teasing Wonky using his exact words that he used to poo poo CW's post about Alaska's record breaking weather.
But thanks for the link because I thought the Corps of engineers dug Crater lake in the 1950's

You idiot, TVG!
It was the CCC that dug that hole and it was in 1933, not the 50's. Wake up for Christ's sake!
Of course FDR had to kill all the Indians (sorry...Native Americans) who had been swimming there in the summers and knew about it, but hey...the only good Indian is a ....and politics trumps the real story every time.
Just goes to show ya. The American people will believe anything. Yeah, like a blast that loud wouldn't have been reported by the Mail Tribune, a paper that must have been around in those day given it's backward stance now.

What I can't figure is why anyone want's to go there more than once. It took me about 30 seconds to look at it. "Yep, a big lake in a hole in the ground. Let's go have beer".

There aint no bottom too that lake neither. That's what they say anyway so I chuck my beer cans and bottles in there all the time.
I do what I can.
