Now that Obama is leaving office the homeless problem will be front page news again.

ierra travelers trapped by back-to-back storms that dropped more than 2 feet of snow have a brief window to pass before the arrival of a weather system Saturday so wet forecasters are calling it an "atmospheric river."
Up to 12 inches of rain below 8,500 feet is expected, and massive amounts of snow — up to 6 feet — above that elevation. A fifth, colder storm two days behind will drop yet more heavy snow.
“It’s a once-in-10-year event,” said Zach Tolby, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Reno. “It’s the strongest storm we’ve seen in a long time, the kind of setup we look for to get significant flooding.”
The atmospheric river, or “Pineapple Express,” will be felt across much of California this weekend, though rains will be much heavier in the north than in the south.
Tolby said the storm is packing the same wallop as an atmospheric river that hit Northern California a decade ago that caused $300 million in damage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

LOL almost doing you a favor, means you take your good 3 gallon per flush toilets with you to install in the new house that already has the low flows installed right?
Trump is making climate cycles great again. Awesome.
Went by there the other day. It looks like no one is down in the actual riverbed. All the tents seemed to be up near the fences at the top of the embankments.
The idiots fail to realize there is a delay. El Niño pumps water vapor into the equatorial region. That flows east to west. Takes awhile for that vapor to get up into the mid latitudes and flow west to east. Next winter should be less snow. Easy to say though considering how much is occurring the next two months.
The farmer’s have had all the water they needed thanks to the following (except under the recent generation of Marxists):

This can’t be. Only a year or two ago the apocalyptic warmists were saying the rains were never coming back and we were in for a 1,000 year drought that was going to kill every living creature and plant in all of California. I’m not sure who to believe...them or my own lying eyes.
Bitch, bitch, bitch. All the liberals and Marxists in California do is bitch about the weather - too hot, not enough rain, not enough snow cover in the mountains, farmers demanding water to grow crops to feed people, yada, yada, yada!
Well, they’re getting the rain and the snow they asked for. Maybe God heard them and decided to teach them a lesson
a la Noah-style.
A frozen liberal is a good liberal, reminiscent of those poor Mt. Everest climbers who remain frozen forever on the climbing trails. A veritable frozen human statue garden as in “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” with them representing the “evil”. Jerry Brown would be placed in the front of the entrance to this “snow garden” so that dogs could piss on him for eternity.
Oh, the image of it all! I’m going to celebrate it right now with my wife’s newly cooked banana-bread loaf and a real Coca Cola soda in a non-returnable bottle.
Singing “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow”.
Revenge is sweat, even if it is only in your dreams.
11 year cycle in California...like clockwork. I arrived in deep drought in’73 and have seen four of these wet/dry cycles.
One of Steinbeck’s first books was about a naive farming family who arrived around 1890 in the wet years. They were prosperous until the periodic drought hit them five years later. Everything died and the family totally fell apart.
These are so ungodly rare... the last “Pineapple Express” worthy of mention (at least in Wikipedia) was in...
2014.
(Do I need to add the “/s”?)

Note that a 2010 storm dropped up to 13 ft. of snow, and 2 ft. of rain, and if you want a “real” system, in 2005 the rain total at San Marcos Pass, in Santa Barbara County, was 24.57 inches (624 mm), and Opids Camp (AKA Camp Hi-Hill), in the San Gabriel Mountains, received 31.61 inches (80.3 cm) of rain in a five-day period.
(Note to article writer: These storms seem to occur more often than 10 years apart.)
Oh, and far more reliably since you could run the plants 24/7/365 vs sporadic and rather random storm systems in Southern California.
Smeltist. Next it will be Climate Denier.
That would be 6 900 ft condos and a Prius if you aren’t on the beach.
“They are too stupid to capture the water flowing down the LA River & Santa Ana River into the ocean. “
That’s just LA with their concrete river bed. Makes a great movie set, but pretty lousy for catching water.
The Santa Ana riverbed is loaded with settling basins.
Yosemite will be amazing come Spring. As well as the crowds.
They get fined for that, it’s illegal to “hoard” rainwater, friggin California.
The Rains are coming and its going to be a Monsoon. Folks will die, homes lost—bridges out. Get your red cross kits ready—Buy batteries and canned foods. This will be the purge of water—maybe it will wash out the Liberals.
