They must be getting really nervous about Gunnison sage grouse listing.
Any chance they are going to try to blame the snow on wolves?
probably! and also that it is proof there is no global warming/climate change.
Great news. Snowpack has been way down in the northern Rockies. Hopefully you guys don’t get another warm spring that melts the stuff.
Hopefully we don’t get a shift in the jet stream any time soon. We’re (in Idaho) only about 70-75% of only a normal water year so far with only a couple more months to go.
