Manbearpig proves ellusive in Washington
We know he is there because we have been told so. But where and why does he rest? I note that any study that questions his existence is deemed "controversial."
"Cliff Mass, a well-known UW meteorologist, said the new study, which he co-authored, shows it all depends on which years are examined. He and his co-authors argue snow levels were unusually high in the 1950s, creating a distorted picture of historic patterns.

Measurement of mountain snow levels were spotty before the 1950s, making it harder to get a complete picture. But Mass and his colleagues tried to estimate snowpack for earlier years based on measurement that did exist: the amount of water that flowed down streams as snow melted."

Thanks, Dr. John.
