Actually,
Still closed, nevermind, from their facebook page.
WYOMING DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION
Plowing is continuing on WYO 130, by Centennial, and WYDOT will *possibly* have the roadway open soon. We will have an update this week

Anthony,
Another road near you, HWY 89 over the top of Mt. Lassen, will be late in opening this summer. They were working on removing 14-20 feet of snow as they move their way closer to the top….they have a long way to go.
It will be a beautiful drive once they get it open.
A snowshoe outing on 6/5 revealed about 4 feet of snow on the road heading out of the Devastated Area parking lot. On 5/1 there was about 10 feet in the same area.

Having intimate knowledge of training in the network and internet industry in the USA, I can say with 99% confidence that the introduction of IPv6 will be an unmitigated disaster. The addressing system is way more complicated that IPv4. For administrators who must maintain networks and the internet, it will be like (analogy coming) moving from automobile tune-ups involving “points, plugs, and carburetors” to tune-ups involving “electronic ignition and computer controlled fuel injection.”

That’s along the Lincoln Highway (PA #30) east of Laurel Mountain (the town) heading toward Jenners.

That is surely in Al Gore’s driveway… the Gore Effect!

Was it Washington State highway??

I remember a scene of a man in an orange jacket from about mid May 2011 on WUWT and maybe it has just been cleared up.

I would say the Mirror Lake Highway in Utah — except the road is still closed because the snow there is still to deep to plow. It won’t be plowed until late June, which is crazy.

Does it bother you that it took readers an hour before they clicked on the link to your other site? Everyone that missed it, go to Weatherpictureofhteday.com and look around awhile. 🙂

Don’t you know that late season snow is caused by global warming. It is winter snow that means it is getting colder.
Oh I’m sorry about that. It is just that it is so hard to keep up with the latest alarmist thing is proof of global warming.

Whachu talkin’ about, Maurizio? Dave Springer had it 10:06. I’m innocent, I tells ya!

At what point do we get to call it the “North American Ice Sheet”? If it lasts one Summer? Two Summers? Thoughts?

June 7, 2011 12:23 pm

That place is in the Rockies. But I had to check the link to be sure. It looks like home to me. Here on the western slop of the Sierra Nevada it’s no different. I grew up here. And there is more snow in the high country than I have ever seen. If “Global” warming is a “Global” phenomena, then why isn’t it happening here?

It’s amazing. I was up that way just 6 weeks ago and was wondering exactly how bad the road was.

Hey Anthony:
Is the road through Lassen NP open yet? This shot reminds me of a bicycle tour I did through Lassen NP in I believe 1983 after the 1982-3 (El Nino?) winter. Similar 20-foot snow canyon walls in July. I guess that the elevation was high enough that most of the winter precip fell as snow in spite of the warmer SSTs that year. Burney Falls was spectacular that year, too. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, even though this is Trail Ridge in CO. (I’m headed that way in a week or so.)

Rocky Mountain National Park had more snow at the end of May than at the beginning.

Sorry but your heading has a few typos: Road opens way late due to massive snow
Let me fix that for you:
Road opens way late due to Climate Change /sarc
My guess, somewhere in Alaska? Nowhere in the southern states could have that much snow this close to mid-summer could they?

Highway 14 or 14A, Big Horn Mountains, Wyoming, between Buffalo and Tensleep?
