Meteorologists say the explanation for the robust winter season is not so simple.
The current La Niña pattern does have an influence on global weather, but Maue said that is only one factor.
Bianca Feldkircher, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said a persistent blocking pattern over the Pacific Ocean plus cold air migrating south from the Arctic have created the conditions for widespread snowfall along the West Coast.
Although many regions struggled with the challenging winter conditions, some are welcoming the much-needed moisture.
The recent precipitation is a blessing for ameliorating the drought that has persisted in the Southwest.
California tends to go from rags to riches, bounty to poverty when it comes to rain, Maue said. “That’s why from a policy point of view, you need to be able to have water regulations, reservoirs, and water supplies that can last during multi-year droughts.”

Commie brain.
What, they are not blaming this on climate hysteria?
It is just global warming where “Up is down, left is right”.
Funny...Buffalo has had two “once in a generation” snowfalls in the last couple of months.
Solar maunder??
That’s in there. I just didn’t include it in the excerpt.
No, it’s now the HORROR of “climate change”.
Because, as we all know, before Trump became president, our climate NEVER changed!
Right on schedule!
From the Authoritative LA “meteorologist” (=propagandist)...It’s all an anomaly! Pay no attention to that weather out there! This doesn’t change Climate change!
The narrative can never change. Anything that contradicts it is an exception that doesn’t change the rule. Even if it happens over and over and over and over again...
LA has recvd measurable snowfall several times in the past-nothing new.
Maybe those old 1970s predictions of the “Coming Ice Age” are true after all.
The author wants so very much to lay this on climate change, but the referenced sources aren’t taking the bait. The “feast or famine” nature of CA precipitation referred to is absolutely correct and eliminates the climate change argument he so very much wants to make. Poor lamb. Something will come along and give a better opportunity to spout the party line
The secret for little or no snow in the winter. Buy a snowblower. Last time I bought one we had less than an inch of snow for three years.
When it is hot, it is global warming. When it is cold, it is climate change.
I saw a picture of Donner pass area this morning, the wires on the telephone poles are under the snow banks!
Lived here in Commifornia all my life and it’s snowed in the SoCal basin twice in the last 30 years. Not once in a lifetime.
