Any possible causation? For example, I remember my first summer here in 98 was spectacular - weeks and weeks of sunshine. That following winter I recall that Mt Baker Ski Area had to close the lifts because they had so much snow. I believe that was a/their record breaking year for snowfall? <br />Perhaps we should be looking forward to a similar snow season??!!super hip kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285398191624665739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-85357335077130327542012-09-09T13:34:57.661-07:002012-09-09T13:34:57.661-07:00Cliff -

I don't know if you've noticed this stuff in Seattle, but every year I see an accumulation of black granular material here in South Puget Sound at the end of a dry spell, like now. Obviously, it comes from the sky but from what? I remembered your blogs on fires and Asian smoke, I wondered, could this material be Siberian fire paticulates? Coal smoke from China? From local car exhaust? I suppose you'd have to analyze the grains and deposition pattern over a wider area to get a better handle on its source. But I just wanted your thoughts on this before the rain takes it away. johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456504415541647658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-47163841272653331972012-09-08T20:17:20.202-07:002012-09-08T20:17:20.202-07:00Just had our first sprinkle over here in W.

Is it that, perhaps counterintuitively, it helps preserve the snowpack as the absence of rain in higher elevations slows the melt?<br /><br />Thansk for the stream of blogs,<br /><br />PierreUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433007429078891657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-45542961036196579222012-09-08T08:20:22.799-07:002012-09-08T08:20:22.799-07:00So close....So close....Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108864457874688399noreply@blogger.com
