I just love these stories about the weather. It's winter. It's supposed to snow. Why do people in the media want to get us all worked up over it? So what? We have to slow down. It will melt in the spring.
So forecasts of snow should not be reported? Tell you what, observer-- you don't attention to such stories and the rest of us will pay heed to them and prepare accordingly. Geez.
Snow is already falling in Layton (not starting at 11, as reported by Mr. Winslow), and has already dumped 3 inches since I made breakfast an hour ago.
Now where is that snow shovel. Grrr.
Snow Doesn't Exist. It's all an old wives tale, or as we call it, a dingodoozer.
UDOT's website says Provo Canyon needs 4x4 or chains, Sardine Canyon between Logan and Brigham is closed and Westbound traffic out of Salt Lake along 1-80 requires 4x4 or chains.
If you don't have to go out, DON'T!
Happy Driving!
It must be global warming. Anytime, these days, the weather is severe it is often blamed on global warming. ;)
Ya I love global warming. If this winter is anything like last year with the global warming I will be set to snowmobile into April and May again!
Why isn't global warming here yet? I'm sick of cleaning snow off my car and driving to work in it!
Where is it? Is this a conspiracy? Who is holding it back? Is it hiding in Al Gore's house? I want warmer temps NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's my bumper sticker idea:
Warm up Utah and nobody gets hurt! Like it?
Only if you live next to Berkley, USC, or Stanford do you continue to live the myth of Global Warming. Once the liberals have convinced the masses they'll sit back laugh at the Global Stupidity all the way to the bank. Global Warming? Just ask the residents of Chicago, Omaha or Detroit this Christmas. Keep them snow shovels ready through April!!! And That's The Bottom Line.
I had to walk to school as a kid with snow up to my knees(I was a lot shorter then), but I still love the snow and hate a drought. We don't seem to get the snow that we used to like 48 52 and the early 80s. When the Great Salt Lake is being pumped again, we will have enough snow.
Iron Cold Steve Michael Savage in a Berkeley grad. I understand the jealousy. Utah has no university like Berkeley that is compared to Harvard, Yale and MIT.
Unlike BYU, archaeology done by Cal is taken seriously.
Berkeley was started by republicans in California. Amazingly, once there were educated republican who valued education. I know this seems unbelievable today in Utah.
My lemon tree if full of ripe lemons. I picked my last tomato last month. The world isn't Utah. This fall, we had the warmest fall I can remember.
Snow in Utah isn't the stand for measuring climate change. You can tell university educated dialog on climate. If you studied science in a real university, you know, what you believe has nothing to do with what is true. A great researcher tries to filter his bias out of his results.
Peer review ended global cooling and cold fusion. Science works.
Reading the stupid bias comments made from Utahans, its more than snow that makes me feel blessed for leaving Utah. I can't think independently here.
My view of climate change, is I don't know. I love the debate and the science getting an answer.
As is common, people here the phrase, "global warming" and think that 'warming' is the total scope of the phenomenon. In fact, "global warming", in theory (not sure what i think, but Im not so ignorant to dismiss it so readily) would cause severe weather patterns such as the winter of 07 08 and possibly looking like 06 - 07. If you disagree with something, at least know what you are disagreeing with and formulate logical, fact based arguments. I know ultra conservatives have a tough time with that.
RON PAUL '12
I actually like Iron Cold Steve's post, because it shows how ignorant he is. It's called "global warming," meaning the whole world, and he says to ask Chicago, Omaha, or Detroit. Maybe he still thinks the world is flat, also.
Ha ha ha..Ron Paul '12. That is classic! Keep wishing!
We know on a micro level man changes climate. Urbanization creates warmer temperatures. Plowed earth absorbs more heat than vegetated earth. Cutting down rain forest drops the relative humidity and less water reaches the ground because leave or needles collect condensation. On the other side irrigation increased humidity. The more humid the air, the more energy the air retains. The snow pack in the San Jaun Mountains melts earlier. Human activity to the West, in Utah increased the particle levels moving over these mountains. The dirt settles on the snow pack making the snow pack less reflective.
People change climate.
It's part of the vast liberal conspircy to use "climate change."
Heat is a measurement of kinetic energy. The high the heat, the more water air can hold. You have energy and phase transitions. The energy the air contains can change dramatically my changing water from vapor to liquid or from liquid to a sold.
What climate is concerned with is comparative amounts of energy present in the total system. If earth were warming. California should get more snow. Southern Utah may get less rain. You have the orographic effect.
Why not learn, This is really interesting stuff.
For those of you who understand that 'Global Warming' is more than just the warming part. It also calls for shorter, WETTER winters.
I don't know why some people consider 'Global Warming' to be some kind of separate religion. It's not a religion, it's a fact.
I had something written to you, but erased it.
Merry Christmas. Hope you are really happy and can make some nice lemonade from your own tree.
Cheers!
We have about 5-6 inches already since about 8:30-9:00 this morning....at this rate of an 1" an hour it could be ugly!
STAY INSIDE....DON'T GO OUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO!
global warming has been going on for 10,000 years. get over it. Glad Utah gets a white Christmas. Be safe and Merry Christmas!!!!
and don't forget the thousands of dollars you and your fellow snowmobilers waste by going where you are not supposed to and getting lost so that the rescue teams have to find you.
