And by the end of summer, whatever water surplus Kali might enjoy, will have been flushed into the Pacific in the name of some mythical aquatic urchin. Then it will be back to drought crisis. It’s what kalifornicators do best.
I guess they can’t wait for that scary “record high temperature summer” they are predicting to get here.
Climate Change, for sure, was the cause of this.
All the older homes in Soda Springs and Norden are up on stilts. There’s a reason.
The Califanatics here convinced themselves it could never happen again, so they don’t prepare for it anymore.
Funny how Nature has a way of reminding them.
I’ll be honest, I was really getting worried lettuce for my salads last year. Keeping California hydrated is important for all of us
Blocking out the Sun should help ,LOL
Video at link doesn’t seem to work for me. Do I need to subscribe or something?
Many, many moons ago, we were done with a great Tahoe ski trip, and the snow just kept on comin’. The regular, main roads heading West, Hwy 50 and 80, were closed due to multiple avalanches. Before they closed both roads, we had driven far enough West that turning around did not make sense. We found a small tavern still open, and waited there. There were many others in the tavern in the same state. Eventually, CalTrans snowplowed the old Hwy 50 road, and the Highway Patrol escorted groups of cars over the summit. It took 11 hours to get home. Back then, EVERYONE thought the next Ice Age was just around the bend. Two weeks ago, the Kalifornia Sierra snowpack was at 250% of normal, but they will still flush most of the snowmelt out to the ocean, and maintain the ‘drought’ due to not enough water.
We had another good pair of storms blow through the San Francisco Peninsula yesterday and today. AccuWeather says that Soda Springs is getting snowed on right now and there's a blizzard warning. The snow is forecasted to stop tomorrow morning at 9 am with another 3 to 4 feet coming down.
If only there were some way for California to save all this snow melt water and use it during the summer. If only...
We could use some snow out on the eastern plains of Colorado, if you dont want it. Just saying.
Mammoth Lakes, CA’s, ski lodge has received 498” of snow to date - with 696” (58’) fallen on top of the mountain. There’s more snow on the way, and it could dump heavily into May.
I work during the summer at a resort on an alpine lake - 17 miles SW (as a crow flies) of Mammoth Lakes.
FWIW - The current going rate for shoveling snow is $40 an hour.
Last year, the most snow to fall in the month of December, at this particular CA. location, set an all time high state record, with 16’.
The pay scale at that time was only $28 an hour to shovel snow.
I helped my former employer for 10 days over the Christmas holiday.
I’ve been contacted once again by my former employer seeking out my snow shoveling services, but the gleam in my eye is not so bright.
Instead, I’m hiking the Arizona Trail, in a southerly direction (Superior to Mexico) for 300 miles over the month of March.
We may not get into the resort until June, once Kaiser Pass is plowed open, so I may hike much more of the trail than first anticipated.
Here comes the ice age.
That is an amazing amount of snow.
Did anyone let Algore know?
He and his fellow grifters may change their tunes back to “smog is causing global cooling!” Of several decades back.
I doubt it is record snow yet.
I wonder how many of you know how the Donner Pass got its name? It is a horrible story to say the least.
