Global Climate Change must be for real

Greetings my blogfans,

I've been back from the Western Snow Conference for about a week now and I'm back into the full work schedule. I've picked back up on the lower Dungeness shallow aquifer recharge project again (see previous blogs). I have a few newly added wells to sample this year but it ain't no thang for this super speedy sampler. I'm still doing the snow sampling for the hybrid model, as well. We have a big day scheduled for deer ridge tomorrow, but I don't expect the snow to last very much longer.
The Western Snow Confrerence was cool. I learned a lot about snow science and forecasting models, everything I could have hoped for and more. I thought it was interesting though that approximately 80% of the presentations were either about climate change or directly referenced climate change as a part of their work. I heard virtually no debate over the validity of climate change amongst the attendees even thought many seemed to be fairly conservative. If anything I got the feeling that amongst the people who have been looking at snow pack for a few dacades, they consider climate change a no-brainer. Well, they've finally sold me on it. (edit: this last part was a joke:)
