Courtesy of Alaska Dispatch: The outcome hasn't been in doubt for awhile, but on Wednesday, the National Weather Service made it official: The winter of 2014-15 was the least snowy on record for Anchorage.
For record-keeping purposes, snowfall seasons end June 30. The following day, the weather service announced the new record -- 25.1 inches for the season -- in a public statement. That's about 5 inches less than the previous record set more than 50 years ago, in the winter of 1957-58 when only 30.4 inches fell.
A chart tweeted out by National Weather Service Anchorage shows this year's record low snowfall was only about a third of the normal seasonal snowfall of 74.5 inches.
But remember folks, global warming is a liberal myth.
Gee, here in Traverse City MI we were under our winter average of about 112 inches too - by about two or three inches. Some towns and counties nearby were over their average but not us. And in 2014 we were over our average snowfall amount by about 24 inches. We really missed that extra snow this past winter.

With all the hot air emenating from the PayMe compound, who is shocked by this?? Planned pregnancies, Presidential runs oh my. Mpther Nature is even confused.
ReplyDeleteYeah you would think GRANNY grifter would be opining about it but instead she is offering up her opinion on Cali's drought. Oh aren't we the lucky ones!? Her own fucking state is burning the fuck up and does she care? Nope.
DeleteAs usual.
I remember when Mt. Redoubt was about to blow its top with a Shell oil tank at its base but she went to the Alfalfa dinner.
Also there was a bad storm during the time in Juneau, all electric was out and she could not be found she was MIA. You Alaskans really need to know about her. You have a new (Dem) gov, you need to demand answers.
The winter of 2014-15 was the least snowy on record for Anchorage. That must be a pause to make one think...

GRANNY grifter is in her ususal Flat Earth Society mind set, along with her clueless compadres.

What stupid pearl of "wisdom" from The Quitter. Thwunk's solution is to build more reservoirs.... problem solved. Of course, California is a liberal stronghold and Jerry Brown is clueless for putting restrictions on water use. Fossil Fuel powered desalination plants are her solution. Brilliant, simply brilliant!!!!
DeletePerhaps we should consult Amsterdam? They're the experts at dams, in Palin's brain, if it's part of the word Amsterdam, they're the experts.
Of course, there's no snow. The Palins are living so vibrantly that that shit burns up right in the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI remember just a couple of years ago berms were superseded and people were just living in a rabbit warren of snow.
ReplyDeleteI believe Sarah Palin that this lack of snow in Anchorage has nothing to do with Global Warming.
ReplyDeleteClimate change is to this century what eugenics was to the last century. It’s hysteria and a lot of it’s junk science. And when it’s as discredited as eugenics, you know a lot of people are going to look very foolish and heartless.

This is why we need Sarah Palin in the White House. Sarah would stop this Global Warming hysteria bullshit.

"Eugenics" seems to be a very large word for Sarah Palin.

5:19 Someone should ask her the meaning of that word. I doubt she would know. Nancy French might, but more likely to be someon else. It sounds "educated" so her followers do not need to know.

The lack of snow is due to those liberals that will not allow the building of snow making machines.

Yes, Save us, Sarah. Our nation needs you like a bird needs a parachute.
Delete"No one’s going to be gloating when climate change wreaks (even more) havoc in Alaska."
ReplyDeleteWAIT WHAT?
The tragedy with this kind of thinking, of course, is that while in Palin’s world, it will be great fun to see discredited latte liberals looking all foolish and heartless, no one’s going to be gloating when climate change wreaks (even more) havoc in Alaska. But Palin, who despite all evidence to the contrary, really should know better, will bear responsibility for impeding the action needed to protect against that eventuality

Wasn't she FOR climate change at one point? (when she was gino)Then when she went all bagger, she even fired that guy who was called in DWH, she had him fired from UAA for his "climate change" beliefs, I forget his name. He was a huge consultant for DWH.
DeleteSnowbird Sarah Palin doesn't have to spend money traveling to Arizona during the snowy winter months in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteAll Sarah Palin has to do is spend the Alaska snowy winter months in Anchorage, Alaska.
Hey tundra turd mama grizzly. We beat you in Philly and we had a very low snow year for us.
ReplyDelete2 years previously a record high amount, then a record low. Abnormal, or an earthly cycle? Strange.
ReplyDelete“We thought it was rough last year,’’ Strobel said. “It was nothing compared to this year. I had to come to Alaska to find no snow.’’

....As they came off the ice of the bay and over the spit, the trail ahead to White Mountain looked fine. Then Strobel noticed a trail-marking lathe that seemed to be leaning over. It was a warning.
The next thing he knew, he and his partner were running on water. Strobel hit the throttle. If you are good and lucky and on a snowmachine where the power to weight ratio is high, you can run a long way on water.
Strobel, 34, and Gravatt, 52, were on heavily loaded machines required to carry a fair bit of survival gear for safety, and they were not lucky. They made it about 100 yards into the overflow before the machines floundered and sank.
“We probably went about 100 yards up to our waists, and then the people in Golovin saw us,’’ said Strobel. Villagers came out to help.
“We got a really warm welcome here,’’ he added. They were given a ride back to the village and warmed up in a home there.
The pair spent the night in Golovin and on Wednesday, with the tide going out and the level of the overflow dropping, villagers helped them recover their machines.
“I don’t care what happens now,” Strobel said Wednesday afternoon. “I just want to get to Nome and see my wife.’’
Strobel is an Iron Dog rookie, but he came to north to ride as an Iron Dog trail rider last year -- a rough year with little snow north of the Alaska Range.
No Iron Doggers were seriously injured last year, but several Iditarod mushers suffered serious injuries and had to be rescued. This year, the Iditarod moved its start north to Fairbanks to find snow and eliminate the need to cross the nearly snowless Alaska Range and the absolutely snowless north slopes of those mountains.
Strobel made that sound like a good decision.
“We thought it was rough last year,’’ Strobel said. “It was nothing compared to his year. I had to come to Alaska to find no snow.’’

I don't get you Alaskans. Why wait until Alaska's snowless winter to hold your Iron Dog race? You snowmobilers can race during the summer months, its a lot warmer and you don't need to wear winter clothes, you can wear tank tops and Speedos.
ReplyDelete"Snowmachines speeding across that landscape kicked up rooster tails of dust."
Neither barren trail nor flooded forest nor lack of sea ice could much slow the leaders in the 2,000-mile Iron Dog snowmachine race who stormed into Nome on Tuesday evening less than two and a half days after leaving Big Lake north of Anchorage.
Behind them they left some of the strangest conditions for cross-wilderness travel since the race begin 31 years ago. Almost no snow covered the historic Iditarod Trail, the route for the race, north of the Alaska Range this year. Snowmachines speeding across that landscape kicked up rooster tails of dust.
Lack of snow caused problems for a few. More than a half-dozen teams have dropped out of the race so far, primarily due to broken sleds or over-heated motors in the 30- to 40-degree temperatures under which competitors have raced across a landscape more accustomed to 30- or 40-below zero.

Solution? PUT WHEELS INSTEAD OF RUNNERS on those snowmachines. THERE! No more problem, and no climate change anyway! That is all in the libtards pea brains!

ReplyDeleteSarah Palin was Alaska's governor from December 4, 2006 – July 26, 2009. The comment below was written in 2007 (during Pain's term). How come people living in the North Pole recognizes Global Warming but your governor Sarah Palin back then and to this day doesn't believe in Global Warming?
2007 INTERNET COMMENT
North Pole, Alaska
Weather - 9/21/2007
We've lived in Alaska since 1999, the winters are getting more mild each year (global warming makes the newspaper front page often). There are only a couple weeks of -30 and a few days of -50. Each summer has been different. One summer I wore shorts all summer and went to the lake. Another summer we had so many fires you had to wear a mask and wipe the ash from your car before you could drive. One summer I was only able to wear shorts one day. This summer (2007) has been beautiful, not too many mosquitos, bees or fires, lots of blue skies with white billowy clouds. I wore pants all summer, but had short sleeves. Late this evening my dog and I walked the 2.5 miles into town and checked our mail, the bank temperature sign said it was 34 degrees. It only felt like 50 degrees!

That's not true. Todd has been losing the Iron Dog ever since he became Sarah Palin’s purse carrying pussy. If you open Sarah Palin’s purse you will see Todd's balls.
Although we broke records here in western NY for temperatures (coldest February in Rochester - EVER), we had just a couple of inches more snow than average at 102. The difference this year is that we had no partial thaws between storms so the snow just kept piling up and up and up.
ReplyDeleteThe speculation I heard is that the buildup of greenhouse gases in the Arctic caused the jet stream to slow down and wobble, plunging us into the cold for extended periods of time.
So, yes, global warming may have actually caused our coldest month ever!
But, but, we were told that there wasn't any global warming, because some guy made a snowball in DC.
ReplyDeleteAs with so many arguments between liberals and conservatives, nothing changes the facts. Call it what you want, climate change, global warming, just part of the earth's weather cycle. It doesn't matter. The reality for us here in Alaska, we've had two consecutive mild winters with little snow. Is that a trend? Will it happen again this year? No clue. But for those in farming who depend on a good snowfall and below freezing temperatures,
ReplyDeleterecent history suggests being proactive. Be ready in case it does happen again.
A senator holding a snowball, maps, charts, histories, speculation, denial, change nothing and they prove nothing. The reality is the reality. If it snow this year in record amounts, great; if it doesn't, are those who depend on snow prepared?
I want elected officials who acknowledge the reality of our climate. I have no interest in arguments for the sake of politics.
TODD PALIN. Climate Changer.
