And a summer chinook event coming to the AK interior today? WRT fire weather, thankful for the soaking rains Fbks recently received.

Not only CO2 but black carbon accelerating the loss of glacial ice. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/jasper-wildfire-ash-glacier-melt-1.7281100

Dark enough to catch the first aurora of the season? And well, there’s clouds. Amazing how many more solar monitoring platforms are in place in the last 20 years. https://youtu.be/BxQ4NhrPQ4g?si=GCwQs1dXL69gyVAF #spaceweather

It’ll be a tough recovery for Jasper. Once a WUI fire transitions to an urban conflagration with building to building ignition (like Maui) IC needs to make difficult decisions. Crews in structural gear need to switch air bottles and rehab every 30-45 min. It might be OK to lose 20 -100 houses if they save critical infrastructure. All communities need to do better mitigating structure ignitability.

The Ice Women and Men of the Goldstream Inner Gorge thrive on this. I hear they raise authentic Iceberg Lettuce.

And awaiting the return of stars. Astronomical twilight won’t return until first week of September.

Ha! We almost crossed paths. So many neat plants in bloom at MD, we had so many questions. A neat discovery for us was Arctic Butterbur (Petasites frigidus) which is a cool name for a cool plant.

Still, something was over 100°F - don’t sit on those black vinyl seat covers. 😣

Thank you for reminding me that friends are rare and life is fragile and showing me the importance of stopping and appreciating life.

A meteor hit it in 1927? What’s the story there?
