UP Michigan's Winter A Farewell To Snow, Fishing, Racing; Skiing; Yamaha Exiting Snowmobile Market

[DENVERPOPS]

7. Colorado is experiencing

much less snow than a few decades ago.............and it is much warmer summers or winters.
It is February along the front range of the rockies, and we are experiencing "Red Flag" wildfire warnings this week with several wildfires having broken out along the front range due to wind, warm temperatures and low moisture vegetation.......

When I was a kid, in the summer in Denver, would have a couple of days of 90+ in August. Now we have 90's probably 30-40-50? days a summer, with a dozen or more days > 100 degrees.

One of the worst weather nightmare scenarios is in Alaska. Extreme heat is melting the permafrost. The caribou used to walk on top of that permafrost to migrate every year, now they just sink up to their body and die. I read an article about they were losing hundreds of thousands of them. The warmer temps bring out even worse amounts of mosquitoes. Covering them from head to toe and literally driving the caribou insane. We talk about the wildfires down here, they have been having monstrous wildfires in Alaska, that just go on and on across their vast expanses. I think most of the people up in Alaska love Oil Companies, deny the climate change attributed to the way we have been treating our planet, and they almost religiously vote bright RED.........Not unlike a lot of lower 48 states that are pure RED and being ravaged with more extreme wildfires, more tornadoes, bigger and worse hurricanes, flooding, droughts, heat extremes, cold extremes, etc etc etc.
