Rain fall and snow levels

Floyd Melton — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 02:13:55 GMT

Why doesn't anyone at the station ever discuss the snow depth in the mountains, and provide a comparison to average. Also where do we stand in rain fall for the calendar year and rain year. I never hear anything on these two subjects. Your competitor did in the past but they even don't do it any more.

Thanks

Are my wife and I the only ones who dislike this feature on 1100 o'clock newscast? I seems as though the talents of the staff could be used for something more productive than dressing up this dog in a different outfit each night.

Climate Momentum Shifting

This is a lengthy article with several hot links... It is quite revealing about the climate issue, and how real science is is being covered up and omited or debunked, from the public forum (Media), for the sake of of keeping us on a emotional roller coaster, and I think, in a state of fear... Just follow the money ... I have the first paragraph here to start you out, and the hot link to the main article just below... Enjoy discussing this among yourselves...

Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics

Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research

Following the U.S. Senate's vote today on a global warming measure (see today's AP article: Senate Defeats Climate Change Measure,) it is an opportune time to examine the recent and quite remarkable momentum shift taking place in climate science. Many former believers in catastrophic man-made global warming have recently reversed themselves and are now climate skeptics. The names included below are just a sampling of the prominent scientists who have spoken out recently to oppose former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, and the media driven “consensus” on man-made global warming.

A Question for Joseph

Country Gardener — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 18:49:56 GMT

I seem to observing a pattern that has persisted at least since last spring. The temperature seems to fluctuate more rapidly than "normal". For instance, today we will be lucky to get out of the low 30's, but it was 52 two days ago. The low on Tuesday morning was 40; tomorrow you're predicting the teens. Last summer was similar, with rapid fluctuations from low 80's to over 100. While there is probably no such thing as "normal", how unusual is this pattern?

Hi Everyone,

This is meteorologist Joseph Calbreath. I wanted to let you know that if you have any science questions I would be happy to find you the answer. My expertise is definitely the fields of Meteorology, Climatology and Geography but I'm well versed in most of the other sciences. I'm also very good at looking up information and see this as a learning opportunity for me.

High Pressure

Why is Oregon more prone than other areas in the US to the development of stubborn high pressure ridges which translate into continuous periods (months!) of dry weather?
