rain is definitely more significant in the northern part of washington. reading range from 6-10 inches from various snotel sites. in the south rain is in the 2-4 inch accumulations. freezing level seemed to start around 6100 feet.

It appears at this time the snow level is around 5300 feet give or take a hundred feet. Based on data from various snotel stations. and at those locations above 5300 feet I see accumulations of about 1 foot in about 6 hours...but take that with a grain of salt.

Then you believe the Japanese war could not have been stopped by US forces over time. Your original statement said, "The use of force is one of a final means to carry out one's will once all other means have been exhaustivly and futively tried." Military historians believed the Japanese war could have been won by US forces, but over time, and yes, many, many lives lost--but yet they would be mainly military forces and NOT innocent civilians. The ending of the Japanese war was quickened by the use of Hiroshima and then Nagasaki. Many claim it was to save lives. A tradeoff for Hiroshima...how many military lives would have been lost versus innocent civilians lives lost. This means the United States did NOT "exhaustivly and futively" try to end the war militarily. Hiroshima AND Nagasaki both would be in your prayers. Read a book. It could have, but after much more ground fighting and to most estimates, another year of fighting. Um...I have. Which goes to my point on Hiroshima. The choice for more military dead or the killing of innocent civilians. Which would you choose?

I feel sorry for the people skiing down and enjoying the views to accidently come across this scene.

The largest militant to bomb in one event is the United States. Hiroshima then Nagasaki

HYPE! Yes it will rain. But remember, the news people want you to watch their news stories. Watch the MM5: MM5 Data synopsis

iphone blogging from the eiger in the winter. badass. I hope his fingers aint too cold. if I only knew his number...how often do I get a chance to call someone from my phone to someone on the north face of the eiger in the winter. that would be closest I could ever touch that thing.

put shaving cream on your mirror in your bathroom. turn on the shower. does your mirror fog up? If not, then use shaving cream. read the 4th paragraph: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-best-way-to-defog-a-bathroom-mirror.htm

Did you do this snowboarding at Crystal? My sister took care of somebody that broke their tibia from snowboarding at Crystal very recently, and she found that weird, becuase breaking a tibia snowboarding is not that common.

Bike trails are like parks. More people use them on weekends than during the week. With his opinion, I guess we would need to tax people who visit parks. Imagine a tax to use Green Lake.

The picture did not ruin the story. The picture just reaffirmed the story took place at Kentucky Fried Chicken. The same picture could have been taken at Popeye's too.

this is where he gets a lot of his info from these two models: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/mm5rt/gfsinit.html and here: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/mm5rt/naminit.html

Um. Ya. I'm going to need you to come into the office on Saturday Rob.

taken my kids there a couple of times. I like the place. the routes have gotten harder...becuase they are slicker now.

Wow. I am impressed. I guess you can do it in a low beginning snow year. Much more difficult when there is snow for the approach.

Uh. Come on. No way.

Now with gas prices down, and people spending less on "disneyland" vacations, lets see if the USFS visitation will increase next summer....like more camping. If not, then those factors are OUT.

You mean he has hired all the people from the Bush administrations?

Here's my guestimate on why less people are out in the da woods: more work=less vacation 30% damaged roads=less recreation 20% user fees 20% gas prices 15% competing entertainment 10% more family vacations to disneyland/mexico… 5%

Thanks for that bit of info. I believe everything off of the internet.

are they really wearing headlamps on their helmets?

hold it. This scammed girl's last name is "Spears" right? Seems to be a universal thing with that last name.

Became increasing more and more frustated with the lack of sex. So, I needed an outlet, and climbing hit me in the face like "There's Something about Mary".
