Whitefish, however, is packed to the gills with Canadian-owned second homes. Mostly from Calgary. We are Baja Alberta. The internet says the population of Whitetail is 9. . They have 120 acres that they lease to a large farm next door. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 20 minutes ago, Cascadia_Wx said: That’s super sad to hear. The trees are being cleared because of tourism? Seems like that would give incentive to preserve the natural environment more too. I don’t want to get too political in this but a lot of it is because of political reasons. Outside of the main capitals per provinces, the country is technically still a 3rd world country and is a communist nation. Many of these resorts and attractions are funded by China and Russia oligarchs, while employing poor Vietnamese citizens. These oligarchs then take in the money from tourism. You’ll be shock at how many Chinese and Russian directions you see at these resorts and attractions. They don’t care about preserving the environment when the country isn’t theirs. Of course, the Vietnamese communism goes along with this because they also get their shares with business booming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three days in the 70s peaking at 73-74 on Saturday would be perfect. KGW’s forecast is the same on Saturday but they’re 3 degrees warmer on Sunday.

Sunriver Snow Zone Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Amazing weather forecast! Have picked up about ½" snow today, nothing special.

(In kiribati, not the UK) There’s a pretty funny book called The Sex Lives of Cannibals that is set in Kiribati albeit on a different island. If you like Bill Bryson’s books you’ll probably like it. Also, IIRC whether that rainy season occurs at all in a given year depends heavily on ENSO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_wizard Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Incredibly the 18z ECMWF AI caved to the GFS. Pretty D**n crazy! Looks like we have a shot at seeing some chilly continental air later in the month. Not easy to pull off here this late in the season.

And imagine the entire planet with that climate... that is kind of what it was like during the PETM when there were crocodiles and palm trees in the arctic. It was the climate optimum for life. Probably why we are here today discussing this. Exactly, humans evolved right near the equator where the weather was consistent along with the sunrise and sunset. This was optimal for human life and allowed our race to flourish. “Modern humans are believed to have originated just north of the equator in Africa, a region with a nearly constant 12-hour day and night.
