The mountains around me range up to 14,162 ft so there is plenty of
the white stuff up there. I have seen snow storms as late as July
close the roads up there.... the same week they got them finally
opened through the park. Of course, I have also seen 18 inches of the
stuff close the roads in the Mojave Dessert when nothing was moving,
and 1 inch close schools in the Florida panhandle.... and 4 feet of
the white in Maine and the roads never closed. It's all in where you
are as to how prepared they are.
In the high Sierras they do the snow measurements to help figure the
water resources for the coming year. Even taking into account the
growth of the trees, the marks the old trappers and miners made on the
trees are a good 20 feet ABOVE present snow levels.
As for the animals... I think they're just screwing with humans. They
get together and figure out how they want to make it look... then they
sit around and cut each other's hair. And the squirrels don't gather
more nuts... they carry the same one back and forth just to fake
people out. Then they hop a passing truck for the south land....
