The 0.5 inch of snow which fell at Boise before 6 am MDT has brought the seasonal total to 32.4 inches... surpassing the 32.1 inches which fell in the winter of 2001-2002. Boise now has the most snow since the winter of 1992-1993 when 34.5 inches fell. Although snow was still falling at 6 am that mark seems out of reach.
The most snow ever recorded at Boise was 50.0 inches in the winter of 1916-1917... and the last time 40 inches fell was in the winter of 1968-1969 when 41.1 inches fell.
Normal seasonal snowfall at Boise is only 19.4 inches.
NASA is serious, very serious, about launching the most difficult mission ever attempted by the human race - putting an astronaut on Mars. The voyage will cover hundreds of millions of miles and take two-and-a-half years round trip. It sounds like science fiction.
After taking about 36 hours to fill the pool I woke up this morning and shut off all the water. Sometime around noon today I glanced out the window and noticed that the water level had dropped by over a foot! Thinking something bad might be happening, I called the pool guys and they soon showed up with a fix for the problem. The plug for the drain. Due to a mix-up in communication, the main drain plug had been taken out during the plastering process. So with 28,000 gallons of downward pressure, the pool was indeed emptying pretty quickly.
I hold the missing link, while a diving 'pool man' gets the cover off of the open drain hole.
He is using a dry suit and this little compressor is pumping air down to him.
Trust me, the water is pretty damn cold!
This "lucky" man is the first person to "swim" in the pool!
I have the hoses running again. I have my fingers crossed that the pool will hold water this time.
