Stay safe out there CA Freepers

[NWFree]

Maybe it will clean up some of the crap on the streets of San Francisco

atmospheric river , oh stop it

[allendale]

Marijuana farmers are happy.

And us NV FReepers too. Started precip yesterday morning at our place then to wet heavy slushy mess during the night and changing back to rain-ish now. That’s a lot of water. Some places on I-80 higher elevations are getting quite a bit of Sierra Cement right now. Hey, maybe it’ll fill Tahoe back up. I know the Truckee River is flowing pretty good right now. Two days ago there were some puddles for a river.

... and the feces too..................

[woodbutcher1963]

There is always a silver lining.

Maybe Lake Tahoe will fill back up too.

Drought? Its global warming

Floods? Its global warming

Everything fine? Its global warming

[Huskrrrr]

We’re loving this here in Magalia. Fire hazard needle is pointing to LOW.

[null and void]

5¼” here in Reno since 9:30 am yesterday. Snow at the moment.

Benefits the farmers downstream in the San Jaquine valley too. If only those leftard hacks in Sacto would use funds to build more reservoirs as additional watersheds instead of trains to nowhere.

In CA, Highway 50 is closed from Pollock Pines to Myers (South Lake Tahoe) due to boulders falling from burn scars onto the road at Echo Summit.

It's a mess out here.

“atmospheric river , oh stop it”

It’s a common and long used meteorological term.

Coined due to the fact these flows dump up to 15X the hourly flow of the Mississippi River.

They even have a scale for it.

We used to call it the Pineapple Express.

Sacramento got 4 inches of rain before Modesto, 70 miles to the south, got it’s first sprinkle.

[TheConservativeTejano]

Please do not call it global warming since this dumb butt weathermen folks do not know their behinds from third base.

Please do not put these "Giant Sixth Grade Brains" behind a camera to tell us what is going on in the weather.

[Cold Heart]

The term Atmospheric River was created in the early 1990’s by MIT researchers.

[RckyRaCoCo]

We used to call it the Pineapple Express.

Hawaiian's found that racist or someth'n?

[wbarmy]

The mudslides are the fault of the eco-terroristic greens who voted for all this pure forest baloney. No one was allowed to clear out dead wood and undergrowth to maintain the “purity” of the forest. This made the whole forested area into a tinderbox, the fires were much worse than they would have been if the forest had been properly managed, and the rains now can cause mudslides.

But CLIMATE CHANGE!!

[subterfuge]

California is a perpetual crisis. Usually caused by their politicians.

[metmom]

It’s a descriptive term for a certain set of meteorological conditions that is succinct.

Those two words can convey all the information that might otherwise take a paragraph to describe.

Learn some actual meteorology instead of knee jerk reacting to everything you hear and don’t approve of.
