Re: Record Snow this Year
A lot of water this year. You should see north of my fence line. There's an 18" pipe and water rarely comes through. Well, it's now a "creek" back there. The trench is approx. 3.5' x 3.5' in places.

Re: Record Snow this Year
That's crazy for your area. I have a girlfriend in Portland from back here. She has been on the NW coast since '75 and is actually enjoying this weather for reminding her of her childhood back here.
Well, the experts are just that. We are having record snow here also, .7" so far and not a lot of rain. On the morning traffic report there is a brush fire causing problems in one area. A brush fire in winter in Maryland??? We are in a pocket that both the warm moist air that drifts up the Great Appalachian Valley is taking detour out to sea and the dominant NW wind that brings us air from the arctic is taking a turn in PA and avoiding us. The ground has hardly frozen. Stop calling it global warming and call it what the experts are calling global climate change and it will help to understand and accept the facts. It's reduction of the atmosphere, which produces extreme temps in either direction. The atmosphere stabilizes our temps to what we have been accustomed to for eons. Think of the desert with extreme temp changes between day and night. I'm watching our jet stream come from across Mexico now. I don't recall ever seeing that. Like I said, normal would be the occasional drift up from the Gulf, the same direction the Appalachians run. The very NW tip of Maryland is just west of the Eastern Continental Divide and they are getting a more normal weather. I pay a lot of weather and what causes it and what I see experts are saying is playing out. We're having a sloppy soft ground winter here. It would be sloppier if we weren't so dry and if there was at least some hard freeze/thaw cycles. Last winter we had only one snow...30"

Re: Record Snow this Year
We are headed for a record low amount of snow here in the K.C. area. We have had 2- 1in. snows so far.

Re: Record Snow this Year
When I was in Alaska, [Summer '88] a lot of the locals had our vintage trucks. All the vehicles in Cordova had cracked windshields from the snow load. This was at about the same Lattitude as Anchorage.

Re: Record Snow this Year
This is on an easement above my property. I recommended to the city they rock all the down, but the engineer, who has paid a visit three times now, had originally said it's better the water disburses. Granted access is a problem, but they weren't moving, and I was burned by a flash flood a few years ago. Once was enough, so I built this to steer the water away from the property, and a levee to protect the property. The rock was free and on-sight (lucky), but just me, a wheel barrel, shovel and gravity. The rock portion really wasn't bad. Nothing like what I've done below.
Thing is, while it worked, I didn't build this for trenching. That and I should have rocked the floor, at least where there's a rock berm on both sides. The engineer was mistaken, but I didn't take him too seriously. But no way did I expect this trenching, and the pictures don't do them justice. Last I looked they're 3.5' wide and I'll bet near that deep in places, especially up top. I've lived here 16 years now, and this pipe has spilled water maybe four times. Nothing like this, not even close. I've got the cities attention this time. FEMA $ may come into play. Before and after....Forgive the "captions". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Record Snow this Year
54blackhornet, where in eastern Oregon are you? I'm about 20 miles west of Portland and we've had snow on and off since the second week of December. We still have some in higher elevations. The weatherman says we could get up to 12 inches tomorrow.
