Comment on Two-month dry spell ends with latest closure of Tioga Pass ever by Bill Crum

Greg and Bob: Agreed that many changes influence road closure dates. Still, the data stands for itself, and encourages a serious consideration of our changing climate, rather than an offhand opportunity to disregard evidence of man’s continuing environmental impacts. Just another brick in the wall.

Bob – I’m still posting the Internet weather station data here: http://www.monobasinresearch.org/data/weather.htm – sorry about the four-month gap. I may be able to recover some of that data at some point.

Hi Greg; thanks for setting Bill straight. Have you given up on the weather data from your instruments and we now will just use the NOAA data? If so I would still like to see the wind data.

Greg, just a small typo. I am sure you mean latest closure as Jan 17, 2012? Not 2011?

I and my husband have volunteered for The Yosemite Association several times, and would be interested in your program. We are both retired now. My husband is a physicist part time now, and I am an artist. I have painted Mono Lake several times in watercolor and one of them is at the Visitor’s center. Jim is involved with astronomy. Be glac to hear from you. We also have a small self-contained RV.

Sincerely,

Maxine Barbieri

The update says could be agreed upon in a few weeks, but “it’s” been going on for 3 years. Even major league baseball can get it done faster that this! How about an arbitrator??

I wanted to see this young man’s video, so I clicked on this link on this webpage, (You can see Rydquist’s video here), but couldn’t find a video. I found the following on the page that the above link took me to -

Northern California Winner Tom Rydquist of Fred C. Beyer High School in Modesto, CA:

“Funding the Dream: Helping California Lead the Way in Water Reclamation”

I clicked on the link (“Funding the Dream: Helping California Lead the Way in Water Reclamation”) but it didn’t take me to a video, rather a narrative. Am I missing something?? Or, maybe it wasn’t supposed to be a video??

Dan – yes, good point, I should have said “liquid precipitation.” Essentially it is melted snow plus any rain that we are measuring separately from the snowfall depth. Bill – changing technology, road configuration, and park policies also influence the closing date in addition to the changing climate.

Aren’t rain and snow both “precipitation”?
