Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Jackson Hole has most snow for 42 winters
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Total snowfall has been more than 1,524 centimetres at one of the measuring stations at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. It's the first time in 42 winters that a measuring station there has recorded so much snow. Bob Comey from the Bridger-Teton National Forest Avalanche Center says snowfall this winter has been one of the top five seasons in terms of snowfall. ...Source: http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5iG1nPTDzYSWF8GUswH58412k4loA

If 2006/7 season's shortage of snow in Europe was attributed to "Global warming" what is this season's good snowfall attributed to? rolling eyes

Dypcdiver, La Nina (as was mentioned before the start of the season)

Alta has reported 1,549cm for the season. Another resort in Utah Wink also had a bit of an Epic year, with over 1,030cm

If you believe the meteorologists, then:

Last year was El Nino (hot).

This year is La Nina (cold).

The oceans act as heat-sinks and make the Earth hotter or colder. This year, the Pacific is cold. Hence all the snow.

Whatever happens in one year, or several years, is likely irrelevant in the bigger scheme of things.

The longterm (natural) 15k-year trend is for the world to melt. It has been getting hotter since the last Ice Age and that shows little sign of stopping any time soon.

Maybe, just maybe the melting is stopping. Signs might just start to show a cooling wink

Au contraire.

It is 100% bang on the money.

The world was roughly 30% covered in ice 15k years ago.

Now it is about 10% iced up.

There was once a glacier in London.

Now it is gone.

The glacier melted long ago.

The planet has been heating up for centuries.

Fact.

Time to get with the program, sunshine wink

A decade-long plateau after roughly 150 centuries of warming is neither here nor there.

Whitegold, see here:



The graph has to be read right to left.

The present is on the left.

It shows that the earth warmed rapidly at the end of the last period of continental ice sheets - to a temperature significantly higher than the present.

It has fluctuated since then, but the long term trend (despite the current up-tick) is down.

This is what I told you before.

You never listen.

Nice try.

But not good enough.

Global temps have risen by roughly 2c over the past 800k years; 3c over the past 150k years; 4c over the past 18k years; and 1c over the past 100 years.

This is what I told you before wink

Whitegold,

You've used the classic politician's sleight of hand of carefully choosing your endpoints. According to your graph, the earth reached roughly its present temperature 10k years ago. Since then, there have only been oscillations (about the dotted line). During the 3.5k years of the Holocene maximum, temperatures were quite a bit warmer than now. It doesn't fit your narrative of continuous warming since the ice sheets retreated. Good to see you provide some data for once, even if the attempt to prove your assertion failed.

Overall, we can award you a Beta minus. If current trends continue, you will achieve better grades in the future.

Actually that's were you're wrong. Whatever happened thousands or millions of years ago or what happens in thousands or millions of years time doesn't really matter to us. We're on this earth for barely a blink of an eye but the position we find ourselves in today is a world with almost 7 billion mouths to feed. A prolonged solar minimum could cause quite rapid cooling short term. This combined with the bizarre decision to replace some food crops with bio fuel crops could lead to massive food shortages in parts of the world, food shortages lead to war and starvation just look at the history books.

So in reality what happens in the next few decades is a lot more important than a few thousand or million years time which are definitely neither here nor there for us wink
