Winter? We don’t need no stinkin’ winter.

Snow cover map

January 5th, 2012. I’m sitting here staring out the window at sunny skies, a few puffy clouds and 48 degrees. The prediction for Billings today is near 60 and breezy. “More than a dozen communities across central and Eastern Montana saw record-high daily temperatures on Wednesday.” Did I mention that it’s January 5th? Snow cover for the West just sucks.

Wyoming: “Many basins across the state have already lost a month or more of snowpack production. The short-term forecast shows little in the way of big snowmakers.”

Colorado: With skiing conditions all but non-existent, fly fishing is picking up. “With subpar skiing and snow conditions, the Fryingpan River has been seeing far above average numbers of anglers fishing…”

Idaho: “What will be the latest-ever opening for the Bogus Basin ski area — the previous record was Jan. 6, 1989 — forced Bogus managers this week to implement a cost-reduction plan, including cutting pay and positions.”

Utah: “October and November had above-average precipitation in northern Utah, Dunn said. But December was the driest on record. And thus far, January has been bone dry.”

Montana: “Two wildfires raging overnight on Montana’s Blackfeet Indian Reservation burned thousands of acres, forced scores to evacuate and destroyed several buildings, officials said early Thursday.”

I wouldn’t recommend that people go out there on the ice,” [FWP manager Craig] Marr said. “There were people fishing on it three weeks ago, but with the warm weather I’m telling people to be careful. The ice has water on top of it.”

In Great Falls, the weather service reported a high of 59, breaking the old record of 58 set in 1984. White Sulfur Springs set a new Jan. 4 high of 53, topping a record set that same year, while Townsend broke an 18-year-old record with a high of 59 degrees.”

With the snow deficit we are building up, hopes for summer streamflows are fading fast. The lack of snow on the ground warms up the air making it all that much harder for temperatures to drop to freezing conditions. There is still some slim hope for winter this year. It just may come in what we euphemistically call Spring this year.
