Resort to open Friday after historic snowfall

One hundred inches!

Does anyone remember seeing this in long-term forecasts? Probably not.

Given those temperatures, looks like a precipitation event. Those are not colds temps for November in Jackson Hole.

I made this prediction over three months ago... It has gotten a bit more snow than I thought the region would get but its right on the money otherwise.

lol........big story in DRUDGE yesterday on this!!!!

Has a gigantic effect on people perceptions on climate change, which is to say, people see snowstorms happening at the end of September in California and already almost 10 feet on the ground in some places. Well guess what? Nobody is sitting home worried about climate change s0ns!!!

Here's a big reason why................

Perception of climate change

Abstract
“Climate dice,” describing the chance of unusually warm or cool seasons, have become more and more “loaded” in the past 30 y, coincident with rapid global warming. The distribution of seasonal mean temperature anomalies has shifted toward higher temperatures and the range of anomalies has increased. An important change is the emergence of a category of summertime extremely hot outliers, more than three standard deviations (3σ) warmer than the climatology of the 1951–1980 base period. This hot extreme, which covered much less than 1% of Earth’s surface during the base period, now typically covers about 10% of the land area. It follows that we can state, with a high degree of confidence, that extreme anomalies such as those in Texas and Oklahoma in 2011 and Moscow in 2010 were a consequence of global warming because their likelihood in the absence of global warming was exceedingly small. We discuss practical implications of this substantial, growing, climate change.

• climate impacts
  
• climate anomalies
  
• heat waves

The greatest barrier to public recognition of human-made climate change is probably the natural variability of local climate. How can a person discern long-term climate change, given the notorious variability of local weather and climate from day to day and year to year?

This question assumes great practical importance because of the need for the public to appreciate the significance of human-made global warming. Actions to stem emissions of the gases that cause global warming are unlikely to approach what is needed until the public recognizes that human-made climate change is underway and perceives that it will have unacceptable consequences if effective actions are not taken to slow the climate change. A recent survey in the United States (1) confirms that public opinion about the existence and importance of global warming depends strongly on their perceptions of recent local climate variations. Early public recognition of climate change is critical. Stabilizing climate with conditions resembling those of the Holocene, the world in which civilization developed, can only be achieved if rapid reduction of fossil fuel emissions begins soon (2).

Perception of climate change

Perception that many people are now beginning to see.

Well only in that 1% of the earths surface have people seen "hot extreme's". That leaves 99% of the earth where billions of people live that are mostly seeing periods of ball freezing cold for many, many months. The whole point of the article is..........when that dynamic changes, then people will start caring about climate change.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm........................ 75% of the earths surface covered in water, not many people living there. Many millions of people saw extremes here in the US when Harvey dumped 56" of rain in six days. Many millions of people saw extremes when we had back to back hurricanes that devastated islands in the Carribean.

It's not just Harvey. Deadly floods wreak havoc around world - CNN

(CNN)It's not just Texas. Severe floods around the world are washing through cities and villages, sweeping away homes and leaving a deadly toll.

Parts of South Asia were pounded by historic rainfall during the height of monsoon season last month. More than 1,200 people have been killed in India and Bangladesh and some 41 million have been affected by flooding since June, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Mumbai, India's financial capital, has been beset with unrelenting rain, that has turned its streets into rivers.

Billions saw unusual flooding this year. We shall see what the winter brings in tempreratures. October was exceptionally warm worldwide.

The hurricanes had zero to do with climate change though.........this has been well documented in these pages. Harvey was a once in something like 5,000 year event.

And lets face it......every single member in here that embraces climate alarmism screamed from the rooftops in 2005 after Katrina about mega-hurricanes happening all the time........"ITS CLIMATE CHANGE!!!". How did that turn out?

People have been seeing all of this stuff their whole life.........time and time again. That's why it is a big yawn with the public. People know that when the next weather event happens that is serious, the established narrative is put into high gear. Meanwhile, it is all under the guise of "warming" but everyone and their brother is still spending 8-9 months a year freezing their nut sacks off and watching Niagra Falls go frozen. When that stops happening, maybe they pay attention.

Our leaders are supposed to represent us right? Well how come nobody in congress has given a shit about climate change for the past 10 years? No legislation...........guess the constituencies aren't giving a rats ass evidently. Where is the science mattering in the real world? Has it ever come up in a presidential debate? Nope........because nobody out there is sitting around waiting for it to be debated. They have about 1,000 things to be more concerned about.


What changes that dynamic?

When people are down at Jones Beach here on Long Island in the middle of January and boogie boarding with lifeguards on the beach, then some things might change in the real world. Until then.......good luck. IM guessing the politicians aren't running out anytime soon and telling their constituencies to shut down their fire places, turn off their AC units and start taking bikes to work. Oh..........and gotta get rid of that cellphone.

While Monday’s poll still found that 63% of Americans thought climate change is a “serious” threat, the level marks a drop of six percentage points since the survey was conducted in 2014.

The latest poll, conducted of about 1,000 adults from Nov. 16 to 19, also showed that Democrats are far more worried about climate change than are Republicans.

40% of Americans don't believe climate change is 'serious'

Well, looks like if the majority of Americans are represented, we will move strong on climate change. As soon as we remove the luddites and idiots from the House and Senate. Down with the GOP, the party of the Grand Old Pedophiles. LOL
