Climate Change

Climate Change 

 I grew up in Utah and spent a good amount of time in Idaho, so I would say that I know what a good winter and summer are like. This has not been the case this past year. I used to be able to tell you when the seasons would change, such as from November to the end of February. If not the beginning of March was winter, and you could expect snow and cold weather, March to the end of June or the first of July was spring or summer weather, Summertime was the end of July to the end of August, and fall was from September to November. 

This year we didn't get snow that stuck until almost Christmas, and it lasted until about 2 weeks ago when they closed Snowbird Ski Resort. We got 18 inches overnight one day, and it just kept coming. This week when we were in Vegas, my husband's Grandmother said they had gone almost 215-230 days without getting over 100 degrees, which is unheard of. I think this is because the earth is continuing to cool, and as it cools, it takes time from the seasons.

This is one of the more recent pictures of the ski resort .

This is a new screen shot from March to help illustrate the temperature difference 

Final picture every year when my husband and I visit Las Vegas we go and look at Lake Mead which had been losing water in alarming amounts over the past few years as the Colorado River has slowed down due to less runoff filling its river banks .
