Really belongs in Tips & Notes or that open thread. Please give new posts a change to have a couple dozen replies before taking things off in a different direction!

You too!
Yeah, not Crater Lake guys, the vegetation is too thin on the hill behind. Its somewhere where the summers are hot and dry. (That is hotter and dryer than Crater Lake)
I’m going to go with the Dave Springer Post above..
On that very road, one can see very fresh new pavement.
I was just over trail ridge road last summer while the paving companies were doing a major repave on the Park.
What? No hat tip to the EthicallyCivil… I had this story on the tips page at least a week ago. This is the follow-up in the Camera.

HWY16 between Buffalo and Tensleep is open, HWY 14 and 14A between Greybull and Sheridan is still closed and will be for a week or two. So much snow in the mountains of Wyoming this year. It is crazy. HWY 130 is always open memorial day weekend. For the first time in recent memory it was not, and is still not.
I know it near happen coming ice age? Maybe be not possible. I had see most record weather and sunspots climate shift
Looks like Dave Springer has nailed it.
I plotted the opening dates for the Chinook Pass and for the Cascades Highway (Washington). There is a very marked difference (earlier opening) after 1977 that corresponds to the shift in the PDO to ‘Warm’. Now were in PDO ‘Cold’ again. Very late opening this year – I guess it could take a few years before a tendancy for later opening becomes noticable. http://diggingintheclay.wordpress.com/2011/06/05/is-the-pdo-correlated-to-road-openings/
Highway 34,
Rocky Mountain National Park
Colorado
Yep, Trail Ridge Road. I spent a long weekend camping in Rocky Mountain National Park this last weekend, and couldn’t get to half the park.
I was interesting to walk to Bear Lake in shirtsleeves and on snow. The trail signs were ankle high because the snow was so deep.
On the other hand, we saw a bull moose in Sprague Lake, where we have never seen them before.
Many passes are closed in winter, such as North Cascades (east of Burlington/Mt. Vernon WA) and Chinook (east of Mt. Rainier in WA).
(Of course there are other routes in the areas, such as BC Hwy 3, WA highway 2, I-90, and perhaps White Pass just south of Mt. Rainier.)
Gotta be Columbia, S.C.

glacier park in montana.
park service used to go down in flames trying to get the going to the sun highway open by mamorial day and they usually did. they would have a “show me” day to prove it. park service used to have a web site showing rotatry snowplows plowing 15 feet of snow in one of the parking lots up there in the past.

Roy in UK:
there are several areas of montana and northern idaho where road acess is limited to only about 30 days per year even in “warmer years” because of the lack of run off.
an intereesting thing is that these areas tend to have gold mines in them and the old saying was that you brought the gold out with eagles.

after looking at mr. watts’ other site and eating a pound of crow i withdraw montana from the competition.
the thin vegitation in the picture would indicate that they area getting up close to the tree line.

Trail Ridge Road, the Mt Evans highway, and Independence Pass all opened 1 week later than usual because of the snow. The mountains were getting at least a foot of new snow the week before Memorial Day, the day these roads usually open.
Dramatic, but I wouldn’t call 1 week late “way late”.
It’s well known here that if you want to enjoy the higher mountain roads, you wait until the end of July or August.
“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. ”
You simply have to forget about addresses and use names, instead. http://www.foo.com will remain http://www.foo.com whether v4 or v6. If you want to know the address, look it up in the DNS. But it is really no more difficult that MAC addresses on interfaces. When was the last time anyone regularly used a MAC address for something (how many even know what one is?). It may well be an unmitigated disaster, but not because of addressing. There are plenty of other problems at the moment. The main problem at this point being issues attempting to “dual stack”. A network migrating to v6 is better off going v6 native with no v4 at all and using a technology such as DNS64/NAT64 to talk to ipv4 hosts. v6 can talk to v4 (the entire v4 Internet can be mapped into a tiny portion of the smallest v6 subnet) but v4 can not talk to v6. To get an idea of the scale of this, imagine that you could place 2 million instances of the current global internet on a single IPv6 local subnet.
That said, we will turn up our v6 for external services tomorrow (World IPv6 Day) at work.
Oops, meant 2 *billion* instances of the current internet on one IPv6 subnet, not two million.
That would have been my guess too. If you check GNP’s website, Going-to-the-Sun Road is still closed between Avalanche and Jackson Glacier Overlook. Significant danger of avalanche in the park generally. My in-laws live about 90 minutes out from the park.
Our beautiful Beartooths look like the Himalayas this year. It may get very ugly when the snow starts melting soon.
Ha, I actually guessed right. Doesn’t hurt that I’ve driven it 20 to 30 times. One of the best drives in Colorado if you can avoid the onslaught of RVs heading over to Never Summer wilderness.
The making of a glacier. Man that’s a lot of snow so late.
How about bets on if some snow makes it to next season. LOL
Or we could bet on the Hubbard glacier closing off the Russel Fjord this year in Alaska. It’s been advancing 10m a day and is within 100m or so of doing that.

Not wanting to read through all the responses, I would say it’s on Hwy 88 eastbound toward Kirkwood Ski Resort.
Trail Ridge Road, Rock Mountain National Park Colorado!
An amazing admission in a lame stream media source:
