Chains were required for travel in many other parts of the towering Sierra Nevada.
“We’re discouraging tourism and snow play up there this weekend,” California Department of Transportation spokeswoman Terri Kasinga said.
Weather forecasters are predicting snow storms in northern Arizona this weekend. And in some parts of Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming, road crews are clearing avalanches that closed highways and doing operations to prevent more slides.
The Union of Concerned Scientists has a white paper on its website that warns the western United States will suffer drought and reduced snowpack, even as strong snowstorms hit in the northwest U.S. and above-normal rainfall measurements in southern California have been recorded so far this year.
White. For snow and ice.
People in Redding last week who'd lived there for decades couldn't recall such a sudden unexpected snow as we just had.
The new Ice Age approaches. Prepare accordingly. I hear roast mammoth is quite delicious.
(relying on art, not science), the Flintstones seemed to thrive on brontosaurus ribs as I recall.
ReplyDeleteYes, the global warming lobby is predicting drought in the face of heavy rain and snow. Maybe it's because the rain all runs off into the ocean in California? I wonder how many dams they could have built for the money they spent on the TRAIN TO NOWHERE?
Judging by how much cement they used to build the train to nowhere's bridge over the San Joaquin down by Fresno, a couple at least. I've never seen such a moronic boondoggle before.
ReplyDeleteThe train was very progressive. Dams to contain fresh water run off are not.
Deletewho would have thought to build a subway in the middle of the san andreas fault zone? what with all the ground lateral movement along the fault lines in coastal california, the rail alignment-which by the by is critical for high speed pax rail safety-seems problematic. almost as good an idea as building a nuclear power plant on top of a fault zone.
DeleteIf california is so full of smart and intelligent people in charge of what is going on there, why is it that only truly ignorant ideas come to fruition? politicians???
Follow the money.
DeleteYes .. wasting billions of dollars when california has massive homeless cities is very progressive!
ReplyDeleteIs the "Union of Concerned Scientists" part of the Consensus Cabal of Glowball Warmenists who worship Saint Algore?
