42 feet of snow on Mammoth Mountain in the southern Sierra of California and more on the way.

NOTHING will end the California drought until reservoirs are built.

Yes, snow in Hawaii is unusual - NOT.

I’ve been on Mona Loa.

its the strangest thing tramping through snow up there, and then 45 minutes later being in a hot, humid tropical thunderstorm in Hilo, which feels like you’re in Vietnam or Thailand.

The Christian Science Monitor is a big promoter (although less hysterical than many others like Science, Nature) of the global warming aka “climate disruption” scam. It has been a purveyor of fake science, pushing for years the stupid “permanent drought in California caused by climate change” narrative.

It tries now, unconvincingly, to avoid eating crow with the pathetic excuse of drought is climate change but flooding is just weather.

Preach it brother! I live in a remaining "severe" drought area and have been appalled at watching millions of gallons of water run off into the Pacific this winter. The Greens -- and they include most of our public officials -- fight common sense with suicidal/homicidal passion.

It’s amazing. These weather people seem to think the weather should remain stable and unchanged. Yet the weather on this planet has always been in a constant state of change.

Very odd.

That dastardly Wo Fat is behind it.

There is skiing in Hawaii, Mauna Kea, it’s just that there is no resort / lifts as there isn’t enough takers or necessarily snow every year. I have read of ski clubs in Hawaii that take advantage of what Hawaii snow they have and go Mainland for the sure thing in California..Colorado....

The Big Island has 10 of the 15 types of climatic zones in the world and is only the size of CT !

I went skiing in Hawaii, it was on my bucket list and I did when my friend got married there. He married a pure Hawaiian. They own a B&B on the Kona Coast..
