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.

Donner Summit, California. Snow water equivalent is roughly 70 inches.
I was tracking rainfall using a rain gauge around 6-8 years ago when we got 72 inches. We get rain they just send it to socal or the ocean. That should be a crime.
It has been unseasonably cool in the central Sierra since the first of the year and AccuWeather predicts that will continue through the middle of May. I hope they're right for the sake of people in the valley that would have to deal with possible flooding.
Really depends on if the sun hits it. Northern Michigan used to play a game when the last snow disappeared. Dirty, hard packed early stuff, in the shade, would sometimes last until late June.

ReplyDeleteNow, does it melt slow or fast?

Delete....and eight inches of snow usually equals one inch of water.
DeleteI had heard it was 1" rain = 1 foot snow, but ymmv...
DeleteIt was 3º F in Truckee yesterday morning.
ReplyDeleteThat's the spot where you shove a pair of short sharpened 2x4s into socks and boots, and embed them about 7' off the ground up to the boot tops.
