| WALLPAPER: POWER POLE & SPRING STORM |
-------
.. We got most of the garden in. It had a bit of nitrogen enrichment with a light dusting of snow: makes for sturdy plants.
.. The wide swings in temperatures from nocturnal to diurnal have nearly broken the recorder on the Firehole River, (LINK-F.)
.. The little stream is currently flowing at a new record for the day. It's up by more than 110cfs over the max that came just last year. Can two records in a row make a trend?
 |
| WARM RAIN OVER THE DIVIDE |
.. It is flowing just below daily records and the gauge height is 2.70' above reference.
.. We are under another hydrologic alert. The coming rains will be wafted this way on warm zephyrs and should bring absolutely no snow to even the highest peaks in the Continental Divide.
.. It is wise to remember what the English author Douglas Adams has remarked: "The single raindrop never feels responsible for the flood." We're scheduled to get a few up here.

| SPRING AMALGAMATED WEATHER |
.. This will make it hard for the ravens to precisely strike preferred targets with their fluid discharges. Don't look up today.
.. Given the spud planting schedule just over the Divide in Idaho we may get a mud rain this afternoon.
.. Or not, depending on how rapidly the Great Basin High builds back. The fluky winds of Spring are a capricious lot, indeed.

| MOTHER'S DAY ? |
.. Our current sociocultural atmosphere provides for great entertainment in a village this small.
.. Gossip, rumor and speculation are the unifying triumvirate in this little village. Out the door.
