Meteorologist: West Coast snowfall is ‘once in a generation’
KTLA ^

Posted on 03/02/2023 10:20:15 AM PST by BenLurkin

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.”

Will see if they hit or not. The one east of the Hawaiian Islands is moving NE at this point. But there is a high pressure above so..

But that one eats of Japan is a dandy.

The fact that people believe in man made climate change / global warming shows just how stupid and easily manipulated people are.
