I couldn’t think of anything particularly compelling to write this afternoon but I didn’t want that to stop me from putting finger to key. Unfortunately, according to Google Analytics, my readership has steadily fallen off as my posting has grown more erratic. Part of this could be ascribed to skiing becoming the topic about which I now post most often. Who knows. Nevertheless, I am going to try and get better at posting every day, once again.
So back to the title of this post.
The other day I was fondly recalling the insane winter we had in upstate New York, 1992-1993. It’s generally accepted that the above average amount of snow and cold temperatures were at least partly the result of Mt. Pinatubo erupting in 1991. I do believe it was an el nino year, also. Below are a few cool images I found that show just how much snow the northeast got. We haven’t seen anything remotely close since.
Well it’s an el nino year and I am going to bet that we’re about to have an decently snowy winter in the Northeast. This, I predict, will also bring out even more of the crazies who think Gwarming ain’t for real, but that’s another post all together. Look for at least one big dumper that drops close to 3 foot of snow someplace between Elmira, NY (anything West of there is probably lake-effect snow) and New York City. If this happens, I am going to try and preempt it and hustle my ass to some place with ski lifts and decent vertical.
