2017 NW sports and outdoor recreation thread
IbrChris replied to MossMan's topic in West of the Rockies
I think the effect of climate change on mean snow level in the Cascades is likely exaggerated. I expect both Stevens and Snoqualmie will be commercially viable in 2050 but there may be more of a feast and famine cycle where many winters either overperform (like this one) or underperform. The fact that the dominant snow pattern for both locations is onshore flow and the thermal inertia of the Pacific (airmasses arrive already moderated by the over-water trajectory) means that the Cascades resorts will out-live most in the central and southern Rockies at moderate base elevations (6,000-8,000'). -
...Daffodil Alert canceled... The Daffodil Alert for the Portland Metropolitan Area has been canceled. The model runs that prompted the Daffodil Alert have given way to colder guidance. A Daffodil Alert is issued when model guidance suggests temperatures may reach 60 degrees for the first time during the late winter/early spring. A Lowland Snow Bust Watch has been issued for Thursday evening through Saturday for elevations below 1000 feet.

Can someone give me the weather conditions present when the ACA/Obamacare was passed? -

So, yeah, who else thinks the two for one deal on regulations is a good idea? Remove two old regulations, get one new regulation. Of course it needs plenty of oversight as regulations are not equal in cost or impact. -

Nah we need a crowd size/DC inaugural rain thread that will gradually grow to over 100 pages in length over the next 4 years -

Lol you'd think we were arguing over who was responsible for Kennedy's assassination. -

I've never understood why crowd size matters. Obama won DC with 92% of the popular vote. Trump might have managed 20%. The majority of attendees are probably living within about 3 hours of DC, ergo crowd size will be smaller regardless of national popularity (not saying Trump is anywhere as popular as Obama). -

Lol we've been arguing over "Facts" and "Alternate Facts", "Known Knowns", "Unknown Knowns", "Known Unknowns" and "Unknown Unknowns" (but some of us think we know) for some time. -

To be fair Trump did do a lot of crazy s**t in the last week...but if Scott Adams is correct the left can call his bluff safely and the final administration policy will be somewhere in the middle. The Persuasion Filter and the Hitler Filter, and the predictability of Trump. http://blog.dilbert.com/post/156532225711/the-persuasion-filter-and-immigration -

Can someone please bring me up to date on all the things Trump should be impeached for? I haven't been on here in a week or so. I figured lying about Inauguration crowd size and making anime illegal would qualify. -

Well, more to the point they view Trump's policies as a rollback of the gains they've made in the last 30-40 years. Defunding Planned Parenthood is a major part because it's concrete and visible. If you ask them what rights they lost under Trump that they had under Obama, the answer is none.
