Program on native bees set for Feb. 11 Bees that are native to the local area will be the topic of a presentation at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11, during a meeting of the Klamath Basin Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon. The meeting will be in the back meeting room of the Klamath County Museum, at the corner of Spring and Walls streets. The program is open to the public. Speakers Steve Sheehy and Sarah Malaby will share information they've learned while collecting more than 1,000 bee specimens for the Oregon Bee Atlas Project. Topics include bee biology, bee ecology and some of the common types of native bees that occur in the Klamath Falls area. They will also discuss native shrubs and wildflowers that attract a large number of bee pollinators. The Native Plant Society chapter will hold a business meeting following the program. For more information on the Native Plant Society call (541) 281-9933.

YREKA, Calif. — The Klamath National Forest has completed the February 1st snow surveys. These measurements are a part of the statewide California Cooperative Snow Survey program, which helps the State forecast the quantity of water available for agriculture, power generation, recreation, and stream flow releases later in the year. Despite substantial winter storms this season, recent warm temperatures and rain events have left current snowpack conditions short of average. According to measurements taken for the February survey, the snowpack is at 66% of the historic average snow height (snow depth) and at 75% of the historic average Snow Water Equivalent (SWE, a measure of water content) across all survey points (see result table). Historically, snowpack reaches its annual maximum by late-March/early-April. Snow surveys are conducted monthly during the winter and spring months (February through May), by Forest Service employees traveling to established sites in the headwaters of the Scott River watershed to take measurements. The newest measuring site at Scott Mountain has been monitored for 32 years; the oldest site at Middle Boulder has been monitored for 72 years. Some sites are located close to Forest roads with good access, while others require hours of travel by snowshoe and/or snowmobile. The height of snow and SWE are measured by a snow sampling tube with a cutter end that is driven through the snow pack, measuring depth. The snow core is then weighed to determine the water content (SWE). The information is forwarded to the State of California, where the data is compiled with other snow depth reports and becomes part of the California Cooperative Snow Surveys program. The data is managed by the California Department of Water Resources; more information is available on their website at http://cdec.water.ca.gov/snow/current/snow/index.html.

NOAA forecast for this week
Kate Brown declared a state of emergency Friday in Umatilla, Union and Wallowa counties after the severe flooding struck northeastern Oregon. According to county officials, increased snow melt led to rising waters in the Umatilla River. Floodwaters closed long stretches of Interstate 84 early Friday, affecting areas from Hermiston to Ontario near the Idaho border. Some parts of I-84 remained closed into Saturday.

The strongest cold snap of the season has gripped South Korea this week, following their warmest January on record. The mean January temperature in Seoul is -2.4 °C (27 °F). January is its coldest month, often with the lowest temperatures, almost always dropping below -10 °C (14 °F), and sometimes below -15 °C (5 °F). Last month was South Korea's warmest January since weather records began, said KMA on February 4. The average monthly temperature across the country was 2.8 °C (37 °F), the highest since KMA started operations in 1973. Read more
Thousands of residents in South Island, New Zealand, were forced to evacuate their homes on Wednesday morning, February 5, 2020, after severe flooding hit the region, prompting officials to declare a state of emergency. The severe weather also left hundreds of tourists stranded at Milford Sound on Monday, February 3. More than 1,000 mm (39 inches) of rainfall fell in 60 hours, causing rivers to overflow.

Antarctica has logged its hottest temperature on record, with an Argentinian research station thermometer reading 18.3C, beating the previous record by 0.8C. The reading, taken at Esperanza on the northern tip of the continent’s peninsula, beats Antarctica’s previous record of 17.5C, set in March 2015. Antarctica’s peninsula – the area that points towards South America – is one of the fastest warming places on earth, heating by almost 3C over the past 50 years, according to the World Meteorological Organization. Almost all the region’s glaciers are melting. Read more At least 38 people, many of them rescuers, have been killed and dozens are feared trapped after two avalanches near Turkey's eastern border with Iran, authorities say. More than 100 rescue workers had been sent to Van province in eastern Turkey to try and reach two people believed to be still buried after an avalanche on Tuesday evening hit the area, killing five, Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority said in a statement. Read more Tasmania's capital, Hobart, went from sweltering hot on Friday, January 31, 2020, to freezing cold on Monday, February 3-- all in one weekend. The city was the third hottest Australian capital behind Melbourne and Canberra on Friday, recording a blistering temperature of 40.4 C (104.7 °F). The hot and dry weather conditions worsened a bushfire at a plantation in the state's north, which reached an emergency level and put a dozen properties at risk. It was then downgraded in the evening as crews worked with easing conditions. In a bizarre turn, a major snowfall hit Mount Wellington overlooking the city just days later. On Monday, the area's temperature plummeted to a below-freezing -1 °C (30.2 °F). Read more

RogueWeather.Com Living in Gearhart on the Northern Oregon Coast has a lot of advantages. One of which is your neighbors are truly beautiful. They are a bit destructive on things like landscaping and fences......T
The elk were there when Lewis and Clark got there. BUT! Humans find elk great eating. And when humans showed up in numbers, they hunted all the elk they could. And the easy to get to elk along the coast had all but disappeared. The elk went into the Coast Range to escape hunting pressure. Then two things happened. Cities sprang up along the coast and hunting seasons and limits were established. But, the elk remained in the Coast Range with only occassional visits to the beach areas and where the cities were. Then in the late 1990s as cougar numbers increased significantly in the Coast Range, the elk began to move into the beach areas and the towns and cities. They were doing that to escape predators. No predators in towns and cities. No hunting either. And now the elk realize what a great thing they have in Gearhart.....and they have no plans on leaving. It is turning into an issue up there.

Australia's iconic platypus is on the brink of extinction, according to a new study by the University of New South Wales.
The platypus is not officially listed as a threatened species, but new research suggest the animal may be in dire trouble
A conservation group says platypuses in north-east NSW seem to have disappeared due to the drought and the impact of feral pests and livestock
The authors of the UNSW study say climate change is also a factor, and that urgent action is needed to save the platypus
Platypuses have been found dead in dried up creeks in NSW due to drought and human activity such as damming and water harvesting, threats from feral species in national parks, and the impacts of livestock.
Read more PHOTO: Two platypuses were found dead in dried up creeks in the Upper Hunter catchment area by Aussie Ark conservation organisation. (Supplied: Aussie Ark)
To the untrained eye, it simply looks like a beautiful picture of a tigress with her cubs.
But for those who work in conservation, the image is a positive sign that their
efforts are paying off. Taken at the Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary
of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, the photo shows five cubs happily trotting alongside
their mother. The fact that there are five is significant,
as the average litter only has three cubs. Singh, who was visiting the park with his son when it opened for the season, was
the first to document this exceptional streak of tigers.

Ranger-guided snowshoe walks
Snowshoes are provided free of charge and no previous snowshoeing experience is necessary. Walks last 2 hours, and cover 1 to 2 miles of moderate-to-strenuous terrain. Routes vary, but most walks begin at Rim Village and explore the forests and meadows along the rim of the lake. Along the way, participants discover how winter affects Crater Lake and the park’s plants and animals. Crater Lake National Park is one of the snowiest inhabited places in America, receiving an average of 43 feet of snow per year. Snowshoeing with a ranger is a fun way to experience this winter wonderland.

The Quail Trail Schedule has been revised, effective Monday 10/08/2018. The reason for the changes is to aid young adults living in Chiloquin (and surrounding areas) traveling to/from Eagle Ridge High School in Klamath Falls. The students depend on the Quail to get to/from school. Now students may ride Route 2 to get to school, and catch Route 4 to go home after school – cutting their commute time by roughly 4 hours!

Chiloquin Branch Library - The library has many ways to get involved and many fun ways to contribute to your local community. Some opportunities: 1. Evening volunteer: The library is open until 6pm on Tuesdays, Weds and Thursdays. We would really appreciate a volunteer who could help us out with closing tasks for the last hour or so on these days (especially Tuesdays). 2. Story time: If you would like to read two or three stories to a small group or preschoolers, and lead them in a simple craft or activity, the library staff can use your help. 3. Summer Reading Program: There are many opportunities during the summer to help out with this very worthwhile program. 4. Honor collections: These are racks of paperback books, magazines and audiovisual materials that patrons may check out without a library card. By offering these collections, more people in the community can be reached and a greater diversity of materials can be made available without incurring the costs of cataloging and processing items for the general collections. The staff would like to have some help in keeping these racks orderly, attractive and relevant. Check with the librarian for information on how to “adopt a rack”. 5. Help with sorting donations. 6. Go through Books for Sale section and tidy it once a month or so. Stop in at the library and see what they need or give them a call at 541-783-3315.

If you are signed up but are not receiving the Chiloquin News, it’s because your email provider has either blocked it or sent it to spam. If it has just gone to spam, and you can find it there, then you can use that email to set up an email filter, telling your provider to never send it to spam. If it has been blocked, that is more difficult. When it is blocked it never even gets to your account. CenturyLink is notorious for blocking the Chiloquin News, but other providers have also done so. You could try calling CenturyLink to ask that it be ‘unblocked’ – good luck with that! Otherwise you could open a gmail account to receive the Chiloquin News, or you could read it at the online archive at https://chiloquinnews.wordpress.com/ As for the reason it is being blocked, it’s because it goes out to a large number of people and email providers tend to label those emails as spam. When the mail is blocked I can’t even reply to your queries. If the words ‘Chiloquin News’ appear anywhere in the text, the message will be blocked. The mail is doomed right from the start because it’s coming from the address [email protected]. Please let me know if you have not been receiving the newsletter. I would like to keep track. Thanks, Joan
