    Another Gone Along

    TO THE NORTH

    Damn The Cold Pacific

    we're hurtin'

    THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS

    -------  


    ..  This is the fourth "Pineapple Express" that has tracked north of us this year. In a 'normal' year or in an El Niño year, (with warmer Pacific Ocean waters.) it tracks further south and blasts San Francisco and climbs over the Rocky Mountains in southern Idaho. That's when we get our heaviest Spring snows.

     ..  Our snowpack is down for the season. Depending on where it's measured and, how the depth is calculated, it's looking rather bleak. We may be anywhere from 24% below average to 74% below average, (A, B.)

    .. Our snow water equivalency is really way down. It may be as low as -280%. (C.) or just -67% for the Madison River Basin, (D.) What ever the case may be we certainly need some snow for our fish.

    -- We will keep you informed.
