Re: General snow stuff
I have a very good friend who's daughter almost died in a snowmobile accident.
Upstate New York on a trail with her brother who was working there at the time.
Running at the back of a group she slid down a bank and broke her back. Lay there until someone noticed she was missing.
I was still working in Sydney and after a long hospitalization she flew back to Australia. I remember visiting her in St George Hospital where she was having some massive screw or screws removed. Had them in a jar by her bedside.
Very lucky young lady, she made a full recovery and has had two children.
Doctors told her never to go bungee jumping, ever.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

She's very lucky. Most snowmobilers seem to wear spine protectors these days.
Re: General snow stuff
Yeah
It was pretty much 20 years ago.

Re: General snow stuff
Can't think of the link, but for years there's been satellite images of glacial retreat. Climate deniers are living dinosaurs. Acceleration is a climatic fact. Just don't tell the people of Tuvalu

Re: General snow stuff
Cheers, MPP. Imagine what will happen in Greenland and Antarctica

Re: General snow stuff
Greenland is fucked.
Antarctica actually grows a little in the centre, as it's currently too cold to snow. But some recent assessments of the glacial tongues is really fucking bad:

Re: General snow stuff
And as the snow and ice melts the reflection of sunlight reduces and global warming ramps up and becomes irreversible. It's a regular occurrence though and the last cycle only took 34,000 years.

How was the previous cycle? When you and Trev and Baba rode mammoths to work?

The future will be less salt encrusted for ocean goers. Glad it won't be me because I love that feeling; salty, surfed out, hungry. What to do first; shower, sleep or eatalakaboo wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 2:08 amGreenland is fucked.

Re: General snow stuff
It's a great feeling.
Nerd hat back on:
The overall salinity may go down, though the increased erosion rate from meltwater might offset that.
And with increased temperature and less frequent (but more intense) rainfall, the nearshore salinity may go up.
