In an earlier post from less than 2 weeks ago (click here for post) I mentioned how 'Spring had sprung' but was only a little earlier than usual. Well I was wrong. I have never spring accelerate at such a rapid pace. Yesterday I even saw my first salmonberry blossom. This almost matches the earliest date I have ever seen this from 3 years ago (click here for post). And is fully a month and a half earlier than the normal first blossom in early May.
Since that 'Spring has Sprung' post we had a deluge of rain and warmth, and now sunshine. Thing have just happened VERY quickly. The jibber bowl on Pyramid has almost melted out. This does not usually happen until late May. And there is very little snow on Pyramid even on high. I noticed rocks appearing in the North Bowl. It looks more like late June than late March. I fear the skiing will be kaput by May when I usually can ski through June.
What has happened to Kodiak winters? Check out this blog post from 2008 - late July and there is almost as much snow as there is now in March (click here for post). Patrick
