Earthquake In Yellowstone Park; Strongest in 34 Years

The AP is reporting:

The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-4.8 earthquake that shook northern Yellowstone National Park is the strongest there since 1980.

But the Sunday quake was still considered relatively light, and its location didn't raise concerns about the park's supervolcano, which experts say has the potential to erupt with a force about 2,000 times the size of Mount St. Helens and would have worldwide effects.

To the best of my knowledge there is no fracking inside Yellowstone Park.

Humdinger of a Global Warming Winter in Billings This Past Season

The Billings Gazette is reporting:

For the first time since recording began in 1934, Billings has gone over 100 inches of snow in a single season. 

Snowfall associated with a storm that began Sunday morning as rain, amounted to 1.4 inches, which brings the yearly total to 100.6 inches, said Tom Humphrey, a Meteorologist at the NWS in Billings.

Total water associated with the storm dropped .69 inches of water on Billings, he said.
