Snow was 15 feet deep Friday at the summit of Buffalo Pass
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — The snow at the summit of Buffalo Pass never has been deeper than it was Friday morning.
Mike Gillespie, Colorado Snow Survey supervisor for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Denver, confirmed that the snow depth at the Tower measuring site stood at 180 inches, or 15 feet, setting a record for measured snow depths there that go back to the mid-1960s. The previous record was the 175-inch snow depth recorded on April 25, 1978.
Increasing and decreasing snow cover is a sign of global warming. You must know this by now. Colder and warmer winters have already been attributed to global warming by peer reviewed materials.
Yah. And if nothing changes at all, THAT is also a sign of climate change, er, I mean, global warming. Or is that climate change? I mean, humans are causing it, right? So, if nothing happens, humans caused it, and if something happens, humans caused that too.
By the way, what IS going to happen, or not?
Had it not been for warming, it would have been much deeper.
