Re: St Marys Glacier
Wow, that is crazy. Not surprising after the super low snowfall last winter. Then the super hot summer.
Consecutive months with at least one 13er or 14er: 102 months.

Re: St Marys Glacier
Thank god the current administration has decreed climate change does not exist anymore. Otherwise the gradual shrinkage of this snowfield over decades, with a complete melt out this year for the first time in recorded history, would be pretty concerning.

It doesn't matter what the current administration thinks, there was nothing you or anyone could do to alter the changes that are happening.

surprisingly because of the straight of hormuz being closed, this year is projected to be the first time co2 emissions have gone down on an annual basis

But I def agree it doesn't matter what the current administration thinks. Bunch of corrupt bozos couldn't think their way out of a wet paper sack.

There was also this article from early September, looks like a few gross icy turns were to be had on September 1st to keep those turns all year streaks alive
