The snowpack in Washington State continues to grow during our wet and cold Spring. In the last few days it has continues snowing in the mountains even with the snow level going up to 4500 ft... Our snow pack in Washington State is averaging 200% to over 500% in some areas. Our average temperatures according to our power bill has been 5 degrees less than last year for the past three months. Our average high temperatures have also been 5 degrees less than last year. We have also had record breaking amounts of rain for the past three months. Winter this year was no picnic either.

After past successes, my wife and my own efforts at gardening this year have been completely in vain. We have had infestations of horrible black aphids on our fruit trees and roses which have been difficult to control. And vegetables and berries - total bust so far.

Here is a link to the UD Department of Agriculture's Snowpack info.

Here is a link to a tweet this morning from the National Weather Service showing current conditions at the Paradise Visitors Center at Mt. Rainier National Park.

California wants all you can give it.

People in northern Idaho and Spokane were complaining a week or so ago that it had not hit 70 degrees yet.
Much colder and wetter than normal. Must be climate change.

In 1979 I was unable to climb mount Raineer in a scheduled event at the end of May because so much snow had melted that the glaciers were too dangerous to cross. Global Warming my butt.

So heat and drought is global warming.
Cool and wet is global warming.

Got to hand it to the environazis. No matter what happens they “win”

By the time you see the black or green aphids, it’s too late./. Spraying early with Sevin or insecticidal soap.

Use essential oils by adding half a dozen drops each of rosemary, thyme, peppermint and clove oils to a quart of water to make an excellent aphid killing, spider mite killer and repelling spray. As a bonus, you can also spray this on yourself to repel insects such as mosquitoes.

The temps and rain fall in Seattle have been cooler than normal and wetter than normal for more than three months.

It is June 13, and we have had just four days since Autumn 2021 that reached 70 degrees or higher - 70, 70, 72, and 73.

A couple days ago, I could see snow on the Cascade front range, which is definitely unusual for mid-June.

Our official temperature is recorded at SeaTac airport, so it is probably a couple degrees colder if your thermometer is not next to jet plane exhaust.

Jay Dimslee will not be happy about this.

[Regulator]

Whole upper West is like that.

Flew over Northern Cal/Nevada/Utah/Colorado a few days ago. All the mountains had persistent snowfields, some pretty extensive for June.

And it was snowing in MT/WY/CO under a really widespread system.

Interesting winter. Dumped big at the beginning, had a dry spot in the middle, and then made up for it with this late, extended wet spring/summer.

But we’re all gonna die, right?

Cowfarts and cars are killing us.

Sure.

And where is the voodoo climate change “scientists” on this?

With all that water you need to get from that big Orange basin to the Real blue one they come close to each other in North Cal and Oregon a few tunnels under the basin divide or a pressure pipeline and siphon system would work. Once in the teal basin the California water project existing system can get water all the way to San Diego and the Central Valley then California can stop taking 7+ million acre feet from the Colorado River system leaving it for Nevada , Arizona and the upper basin states to use no need for a pipeline over the Sierra Nevada mountains just stop California from taking so much in the first place. The Coronado river compact should be avoided anyway it is based on faulty science and a whole new negotiation should be had. One where California doesn’t get 7 million acre feet every year regardless of what the other states get even in drought years. F California and their agricultural mafia.

We’re coming up on the longest day of the year. What good does it do to have daylight at 9pm when it’s cloudy and raining at the time? Serious Grrrrr.
