Extreme Temperatures
October 1-4 Storm Recap
A strong and slow-moving low pressure system worked its way into the Intermountain West early this week, resulting in heavy precipitation across the Tetons and Northwest Wyoming.
On Sunday, we saw an appetizer with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, before more widespread rain and mountain snow developed on Monday and Tuesday. Snow levels (i.e. the rain/snow line) dipped as low as 7,500 feet on Tuesday morning.
Modern agriculture knows that oceanic cycles have significant consequences for global agriculture.

Corn struggles amid Europe’s 2022 drought. East Pacific cooling has impacts on agriculture around the world.
"Why does this part of the eastern Pacific contradict climate models, scientists ask, and they can't find a simple explanation," reports agriheute.com. The cooling of the East Pacific has defied the forecasts made by climate models, which predicted a warming due to "greenhouse gas" emissions.
The region of cooling is the ocean area that "stretches west of Ecuador" and "could reduce greenhouse gas warming by 30 percent". The false prediction by climate models risk misleading the agriculture industry, as it is known that ocean temperatures impact growing conditions around the world.

The Sunrise sign at Mount Rainier National Park seen covered in snow on Sept. 27, 2023.
Mount Rainier National Park (MRNP) has plenty of snow, according to a National Park Service photo on Facebook.
An official report eventually emerged, revealing that the base received a formidable one-meter snow deposit, while the summit was inundated with an astonishing 2.5 meters of snow. However, despite this awe-inspiring snowfall, the eagerly anticipated moment when enthusiasts can hit the slopes remains uncertain.
The reason lies in the sky-high avalanche danger that these extraordinary conditions have generated, underscoring the awe-inspiring power of nature's fury.
The family owned and operated mountain hideaway, received 1 Meter of powder snow, in 1 day - and we were there. Yeehaw, what a difference 24hrs can make!
We're amping for plenty of epic skiing still to be chased so, for now, enjoy this photo gallery of the eye-popping good times going down at Ohau.
Cheers!
The first taste of winter arrived on Sept. 20 as Apex Mountain got an early dusting of snow.
About 15 centimetres fell on the mountain, but this early on it's not likely to hang around to the start of the ski season.
"It's not anything we get insanely excited about, I mean we're excited but we're not jumping up and down because we know it doesn't last," said Apex Resort general Manager James Shalman. "A couple of years ago we did have three feet of snow fall on Sept. 27, and we lost three-quarters of that before the season."
With white fluff coating the bright fall colors, we are experiencing a two-for-one on seasons today.
This is officially the first snow of the season, and it's coming a whole month earlier than last year's first recorded snowfall happening on October 22, 2022. Is this a sign predicting another historic winter? We sure hope so.
The country's largest resort, Levi, posted pictures of snowfall down to resort level on Wednesday 20th September. It is still summertime, until Saturday, according to the astronomical measure of the seasons.
Levi and fellow Finnish resort Ruka are due to start their 7 month long 23-24 seasons in just a fortnight's time, on 6th October.
Greta was not violently carted off by the authorities and thrown into a cell. The police held her up for the cameras for the best propaganda pictures. Reuters is reporting that the young globalist could face up to six months behind bars - yeah, right! "It is absurd that those who act in line with science should pay the price for it," Thunderg stated after her first arrest. She pleaded "not guilty" in June, citing that she was blocking the oil trucks from committing a climate catastrophe. "I believe that we are in an emergency that threatens life, health, and property. Countless people and communities are at risk both in the short term and in the long term," Thunberg said in court.
