I live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Up until yesterday, my yard was all grass. Not even patchy snow. Normally around this time I have a snow pack feet deep. It is shocking.
Gee. I wonder what's happening. Wish someone told us sooner.
It must be those illegal immigrants smuggling in warm weather along with all the fetanyl!
I look out the window at a pleasant weather day.
Thats it, IVE HAD IT.
I smash the icebutton on my refrigerator door.
My pockets filled, armed to the teeth I step outside and unload a whole clip of cubes on a sunny bit of sidewalk with a nice bench to sit on.
"Try to have a nice peaceful moment there NOW you damn illegals" - I scream at a tan native american woman wisely crossing the street to avoid me.
Later while at home alone, empty and soggy, I ask the mirror "Why is the universe always conspiring against me?".
We... We didn't listen!
Its been a great year for the used snowmobile market. Prices dropped like a rock around me, I was able to get a couple older sleds for very cheap.
Last decade or so has seen February - March become the highest months for precip, not December - January. So we'll see how it plays out as the LA Nina is breaking.
This borderline seems like a global phenomenom
Ask Jay Peak how THEY'RE doing lol
