Poor mountain. I wish it lots of snow, and soon.

Alarming.

If you think about it, the glacial waters supply our under ground rivers for our drinking water. There will come a day, when there will not be enough water to source the ever increasing population of Puget Sound.

It's almost like the oligarchy in our area needs to deter people.. awwh but their oversized wallets might hurrttssiiesss...

(I hate hate hate seeing new rabbit hutches for humans being built in my town. I'm fine with slowly a new house here and there but not fucking sims level of copy paste.)

The Puget Sound is growing like that of the San Francisco Bay Area. It's a matter of time, the cost of living will be the same as it is there. Very unfortunate.

Can't wait for that to blend in with the meth/heroin problem in south Thurston/lewis county.

Seattle's drinking water doesn't come from glaciers. The entirety of the Cedar River Watershed and the South Fork Tolt River Watershed are below 5500 feet. There's no glaciers there. Most of their area is below 4,000 feet. They typically have completed melting out by late May or early June, and the remaining inflows are from percolation through the ground.

These supplies last through the summer primarily based on storage behind a couple small dams on the upper reaches of Cedar and South Fork Tolt Rivers.

Seattle has had great success with conservation efforts delaying the point when demand from the growing population exceeds that supply. I think it's been pushed back literal decades, if I remember right. Climate change may accelerate it slightly again because the spring snowpack is effectively additional storage.

Regardless, whenever it happens, the response will be to raise the dams on either or both of those lakes to increase the storage capacity.

I believe mount rainier or Tahoma I believe some call it but I'm no volcanologist.

That is very scary. Not looking good for next spring and summer for water supply and general health of the ecosystem

Fingers crossed for wetter conditions in November. The stability of my mental health is relying on this front we have coming in over the weekend.

Cool photo. You can see Paradise visitor center area as well as Reflection lakes if you zoom in.

You looked at a picture of a mountain and managed to be offended about a relationship of strangers. This says more about you than almost anything else ever could.

That and “hubby” …. 🤢

Edit: the original now deleted comment was “wifey”…. Those two words are so cringey to me (and my fiancé)😅 lol. People are so up in arms about this wow. 😒🤷🏼‍♀️

So help me out. Cringe for you is a word where you add a y at the end? Please elaborate the difference. Also as someone who has dealt with depression you feel you “must” share your disapproval? I guess that computes.

So help me out. 1) you had to dig into my comment or post history to find a way to jab at me? Who says because I’ve dealt with depression and mental illness in my history that it defines me now? Pretty judgmental and presumptive of you. And a week later and now you express your butthurt rebuttal? 2) “Cringe” is technically/grammatically a verb or noun. “Cringey” or “Cringeworthy” are adjectives. “Cringe” is improper but new slang. So “cringy” or “cringey” are absolutely valid and correct. Do your own research. 3) Why can I not have an opinion and/or agree with another commenter? So you feel that only your echo chamber or people that jive with you can say anything? I guess that computes.
