And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Central Zone of Chile before and after of intense blizzards this month.
No first-hand knowledge of Chile but runoff from the Andes is the primary source of water for some coastal areas of western South America. Coastal areas of Peru are pretty much a desert with little if any access to water other than mountain runoff. Annual rainfall in Lima averages about 2mm spread over 6-days of rain.
Global warming is a terrible thing. Cool comparison.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's the equivalent of mid January in the northern hemisphere. High mountains and snow in midwinter go together.
ReplyDeleteIt's the middle of winter down there and as I recall those are really tall mountains (the Andes).

ReplyDeleteA nice snow pack will provide plenty of water next summer.
