Jesus dude. I'm serious the forum has changed. Do I need to screenshot it to you? Edit: I don't know how to do screenshots on Win 10.

Horrible.  

Yeah those trains are REALLY scary when flying down the line! We must get together and ban train travel so no more fires can occur from wheels! Or should we just ban the wheels that causes said sparks?

Don't believe me?The 5 Best Ski Resorts in Australia - UPDATED 2021/22 - SnowPak

Looking for a powder fix this Summer? Why not try down under? The southeastern states of New South Wales and Victoria are home to a whole bunch of diverse ski areas, and we’ve skied them all again and again to give you our pick of the best 5!

Due to COVID-19, safety measures were put in place by Australia which impacted the 20/21 ski season. These included mandatory 14-day hotel quarantine for all international travellers, mask-wearing and physical distancing. In Victoria which is home to Mount Hotham and Falls Creek, travellers from COVID-19 hotspots such as the Melbourne CBD were not permitted. In New South Wales which is home to Perisher and Thredbo, testing was strongly encouraged for the mildest of symptoms and face coverings recommended in all public spaces. Such restrictions are not anticipated to continue into the 21/22 winter season.

author of Not By Fire But By Ice. 

It is with a heavy heart that I must make this post. I just learned that our friend Robert Felix has passed away on June 10th. He was a great friend and brought so many of us together. Nothing that I can write here will be able to do justice to the person that has been part of our lives for so many years. I am thankful that I was able to meet him and his wife over the Memorial Day weekend. Please take a moment to share your memories of our friend and I will do my best to get the comments approved for everyone to see. Thank you so much for being part of this site over the years. I know Robert enjoyed being able to share this thoughts and communicate with everyone here.

RIP my friend. I will miss you.

Sincerely,
Dan – Your long time friend and site admin.

If you look at most of his post his 'headline' ones usually were just a small area being made large like a weird part of Australia having snow they usually get once every 5 years or so where almost nobody lives. YES THEY HAVE SKI RESORTS!! Though he nailed a lot of the inner science stuff down pretty well that regular science refuses to touch with a 10-foot pole.

This a bit of a gut punch. I remember listening to him on Coast to Coast back in the early 00s and I would always check out his blog to see the latest cold focused news and events.

I like him but would like also non bias sources too.   He isn't it for obvious reasons. Too bad there ISN'T any. 

Am I the only one if so why OR is there a major forum software change as it all looks different yet no mention of it anywhere. Someone forgot whoops e daisy!

There are rumors it was sparks from a train.

Just like suing the hell out of PGE gotta ban them trains from moving. They are DAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS! (Unless they don't move)

What is 'read'?

What happened to the upvotes? I don't see any mention of changes in the board section of this forum.

It's probably cyclical.  There is strong evidence of major SW US droughts in the past and some of them have probably nosed up into OR.

What do you think winters were like in general during those times?

What was the date of the June thunderstorm we had that broke apart as it came across the north valley? Silver Falls was briefly under a tornado warning then and Salem had some floods briefly.

This is pretty cool... it would be interesting look up the AFDs from our big events over the last 30 years and big events in other parts of the country.    

You can actually do that. You can get state discussions too. IEM :: SWS from NWS PQR (iastate.edu)

Should I get the snow shovel + fire arrows and cold elixers to resist the cold ready? Another trick is to equip a weapon with a fire element such as a flame spear (more common) and it will keep up warm for most cold climates.

How can it be a surprise when it was literally forecasted since middle of last week it was going to be hot this weekend?
