Front Page Snow Report

Ski fans ans other snow junkies, the news coverage of conditions has begun in earnest. Sunday's Chronicle had a lead story pointing out the lack of the white stuff inside the basin. Unlike last season(remember then?), not much snow has fallen to date this season. Remarks by those persons interviewed definitely point out year-to-year differences as normal, that is, seasonal weather does not follow a straight line continuum: it varies, and we data collectors like to point out variations as newsworthy items to SELL newspapers.

So, until the heavy storms begin, look for more articles with the lament of no new snow.
