EL NIÑO AND WINTER SPORTS As you all know, we are always at the mercy of the weather. Whether we have La Niño or El Niño, we just have to deal with what we are dealt. This chart shows the years and intensity of both. On average, we have about the same number of La Niños as we do El Niño.
But what you want to look at is the degree of intensity in both. Now with climate change, are we going to have more El Niño weather patterns? Of course we can’t predict the weather that far out, but we can learn to deal with weather, by adapting to the conditions, and doing the sports we love, in those conditions, if it’s safe. If you are as down as I am, about not being able to ski the fluff, go for a walk. Log onto NOAA.gov, and examine the illustrations and words to get an idea of where you might want to go. After you’ve looked and read the above, scroll down and click on the Hourly Weather Graph. Study this chart to get accurate times and amounts of precipitation, sky cover, wind speeds & direction, and temperatures thruout the day. After getting use to seeing this information, you can plan your day, down to the hour. We have a whole section on weather, that will show you what to expect in detail. https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/weather-thunderstorms-and-lightning.html Some places to hike, because... SKIING SUCKS RIGHT NOW Below are some suggestions of cool places to hike. Northrup Canyon & Steamboat Rock https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/northrup-canyon.html https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/steamboat-rock.html Escure Ranch, Rock Creek & Towell Falls https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/escure-ranch.html Navigation Trail, Lower to Upper Priest Lakes https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/navigation-trail-291.html Revett Lake and/or Blossom Lakes https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/revett-lake.html https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/blossom-lake.html Any of the following Spokane County Conservation Properties https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/spokane-county-conservation-futures.html Ross Creek Cedars https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/ross-creek-cedars1.html Don’t be down. But rather get up and go play. The advantages are numerous. No ticks Very low rattlesnake sightings No crowds None of the above, have avalanche dangers And most of all….new sights. If you have technical questions about any hike on our website, I encourage you to email me. My email is on the bottom of every page. Do keep in mind, I may be away doing “research”. (Hiking) Thank You for reading our website. Chic David InlandNWRoutes.com While doing some research for this website, I stumbled upon the NOAA OPERATIONAL HYDROLOGIC REMOTE SENSING CENTER.
This NOAA website shows the snow depth of any area you are interested in skiing or hiking at. I haven’t done a lot of research on this website yet, but it promises to have more additional features to explore. For backcountry skiers, this website has a great deal of value. Now we can see the depth of snow at a given area, to make planning much easier and accurate. If you use this NOAA website this winter in planning a trip, please let me know what features you used and how accurate you found this information. I can be reached directly at chicski@icloud.com Thank You for reading our local website on places all over our region to play in Nature.
