This is the wettest drought and coldest global warming I have experience in a long time.

Shhhhh....the earth is still warming. AlGore and his acolytes say so.

Actually, I've been waiting for them to pull the "Things will get warmer because snow is an excellent insulator" card out. Maybe they're waiting for the glaciers to advance.

Snow fall in the Sierras is still way behind normal.

This is also the least stimulating stimulus bill ever.

Yeah, I’ve never heard of snowfall in the Sierra before. Really unusual.

Get on out to Mammoth. They are basking in an algore drought:

Wednesday March 4 - Snow Conditions:

Mammoth continues to get dumped on bringing in another 21 inches of fresh powder since yesterday causing us to break our annual season snowfall total of over 400 inches already! No lifts are expected to open out of Main Lodge. Lifts are expected out of Canyon and Eagle, but will be slow to open as conditions permit. Please take advantage of Mammoth’s free shuttle buses and leave the driving to us today.

“Get on out to Mammoth.”

Wish I could. A little too far away for me. Hey, but we had about 8 inches Sunday. Nonetheless, we’ll remain below average for something like the fifth or sixth year in a row. I’d love to get a big snow again.

Snowpack statewide is 84% of normal according to this state website:

http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/snow/DLYSWEQ

It’ll be higher than that tomorrow as it’s been snowing pretty much nonstop there for the past 24 hours.

Yea, looks like another week of this might bring it up to normal. One of my employees came over from Sac on Monday and said it still looked sparse.

I know the government line "It will take many years to make up for it, so you stupid citizens must quit using water. If you take a bath that water disappears from the face of the earth and can never be used again."

I am speaking as a California citizen who on Monday experience, what we used to call in the Midwest, "A cloudburst" for a good ten to fifteen minutes. The weather monitors were only able to measure .12 of an inch and later reduced that to .10 of an inch. And yes the weather service had us under flash flood watches for two days, so they are aware of the heavy rain happening, they just refuse to report it when it happens. There are lies and government lies. The government lies are all about limiting what the populace can do. My taking a bath threatens them.

Think about it, if it was really a problem, California would figure out a way to reuse water and they would care more about building new reservoirs to store the runoff than they do about some annoying animal or fish that the Sierra Club has declared at risk. Don't you think that humans being at risk of dying of thirst would be of interest?

Yup and what water there is will go to the Delta to support salmon.

Scientists say heavy mountain snow demonstrates urgency for income redistribution.
