SCIENCE : New York Times Gives Glaciers 100 Year Reprieve Posted on January 24, 2016 by stevengoddard The New York Times says glaciers may disappear from Glacier National Park by the year 2050. This is excellent news because a century ago, scientists said the glaciers may disappear by 1950. Wow, Glacier National Park has 35 more years to exist ... back in 1923, it only had 24 years. That's progress. The New York Times 29 Dec 1923, Page 5 – at Newspapers.com gator69 says: January 24, 2016 at 10:07 am Glacier National Park was once much larger, before SUV’s and jets. Ah, the good old days, when Glacier National Park covered New York State, New England, and Iowa. Gail Combs says: January 24, 2016 at 12:17 pm RAH, my roomie laughed because I carried sand, cold weather gear, a winter down sleeping bag, food, water and a svea stove all winter in Rochester NY. That was until we almost got snowed in at work during the blizzard of 1977. Then she had me make up an emergency kit for her car. Buffalo maintains the all-time high for snowfall in a single season, holding the record at 199 inches, all of which accumulated during the 1976/77 winter. Rochester, New York, comes in second, with 161 inches in a season.. “Stay Inside, Grab A Six-Pack…” Here is a brief look at some of the big ones of the past: Interesting that many are in the 21st century. I remember this type of weather from when I was a kid living near Syracuse “Much has been written about the events of the Blizzard of 77 (January 28-31, 1977). The storm forever linked Buffalo with the arctic although it is a proven fact that our city is NOT the snow capital of America or even New York State. That title goes to Syracuse or Watertown!” Our dog sat on the garage roof every winter. The drifts were so high I stepped over the telephone lines. I figure we are headed back towards that type of weather as the AMO and solar cycle 24 both wind down.
