Global warming’ alarmist spewed nothing but climate doom last summer about how the world would imminently burn if no ‘government’ actions were taken. The folks operating Mammoth Mountain in the Eastern Sierra might be perplexed about that assumption considering they’ve had to shutter operations this week because of too much snow.
A moisture conveyor belt of atmospheric rivers for nearly three weeks has pounded lower elevations of Commie California with record amounts of rain. As for higher elevations, such as the area where Mammoth is located, feet of snow buried the region.
...
“Due to continued intense snowfall, very difficult road conditions, and extensive avalanche mitigation work, Main Lodge will be closed tomorrow,” Mammoth posted on Facebook earlier this week.
Another update said that even more snow had paralyzed the resort from conducting full operations.
...
Yesterday, Mammoth said the “mega-storm” dumped “6 to 7.5 FEET of snow in the last few days.” It indicated only a partial reopening of the mountain and to “expect delays in all lift openings.”
Last night, Mammoth posted a video showing how badly the mountain got hit. Some lifts still appear to be inoperable.
Last year, Mammoth received about 223 inches of snowfall during winter. So far this season, 328 inches have fallen, surpassing last year’s total by more than 100 inches with still a few months left in the season.
Mammoth Cave is not affected.
California could have its own ocean of surplus fresh water and they will waste it as hard and fast as they can to get back to drought conditions.
Dump as much into river beds to “save the invisible miniature mermaids”, that might live in that river, while denying it to farmers, industry, and residential use.
The governor, legislature, and willing judges are more than able to waste a thousand times more water than they could ever have.
you both forgot the most important things it causes..
government spending (and lack of tax collections) and... you’ll have to go to jail for this one.. RACISM! how dare you forget that!
at least according to the democrats.
Yeah, there’s a high pressure ridge forming over Alaska and the west coast along with a trough developing in the mid-west region. The east will get the brunt of the cold air.
In the early 1980s I was skiing a little bit north of Mammoth. There was no snow on the valley floor. The local government had large pickup trucks with substantial snowplows attached to the front of the truck. Even though there was no snow on the valley floor, I witnessed these plow trucks driving up and down the valley. I finally found one stopped for a moment. I asked the driver why he was driving so much, and he provided an answer I will never be able to forget. He stated that if they do not use up their gasoline allotment, they will not receive the same amount next year. Once again, spending other people’s money (taxpayer) is very easy.
“atmospheric rivers” and “bomb cyclones”. I give the fear pornveyers credit for never lacking original doom labels.”
Personally, I feel the “atmospheric rivers” moniker is quite descriptive for the 16” of rain dumped on the LA hills.
It cause erectile dysfunction also and anything that is bad in the world. It is a long list. /S
Nah. It’s just weather. Weather is not climate, unless it is...
Send in actor Jeremy Renner. He has a 14,330-pound snowplow that can help when it is not running him over....
Well snow is WHITE (except where the Huskies go, credit to Frank Zappa), so of course it’s RACIST!
