catbirdseat Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 This could be bad for ice climbing and skiing next winter. Can we expect a warmer and drier winter of 2004? Science Daily Story Background information Quote
Winter Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 During the '94-95 event I lieved in Tahoe. 850' of now that year!! 12 inches of fresh every single freakin morning! Quote
scrambler Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Henry Rollins has a bit on El Nino in his spoken word work, Think Tank. F'ing funny. Like he says we should rename El Nino to 'the muthaphucker' or to the 'first 4 Black Sabbath albums'. El Nino, the child, just doesn't do it. Did you know that there are corresponding changes in the Earth's rotational rate and length of day? Has something to do with the shift of atmospheric and oceanic mass, and perhaps geophysical changes within the Earth's mantle/core. Really brings a lot of unpredictable weather to the picture. Screws with biota too. Throws a lot of plants out of whack because they're tuned to a particular weather pattern occurring at a certain period of time. Affects biological clocks in other life too. Worse than the '82 El Nino? That's serious shit. So you're thinking it'll screw our winter climbing season? Quote
cman Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 better get out and enjoy winter this year. next winter, rock climb all the time!! Quote
hasbeen Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Anyone else bothered by the 1997 date of the article? Don't think we are going to have to worry about 2004, at least not on the basis of this article. Happy New Year, everyone. Quote
