“Climate change during the winter caused a huge snowpack. Global warming during the spring now causing it to melt. “
The set up for another horrific year of California wildfires.
That would make for some hard times downstream.

Did you mean all 5?
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do mean 5. Thanks for the heads up
No sweat, FRiend.
No problem and thanks for the ping

El Nino?
Bullsh*t!
The relevant areas of latitude and longitude in the Pacific, typically measured for El Nino, are barely at their threshold temperatures for this atmospheric phenomenon to be present.
The pacific Northwest is getting regular storms for several reasons:
1.) Fluctuations in the jet stream
2.) A less energetic Sun (We are entering the first stages of a Grand Solar Minimum cycle, expected to begin in earnest by 2030). This leads to a diminishing output of the solar wind, which thus allows greater amounts of cosmic radiation into the earths atmosphere, which in turn creates increased nucleation of aerosols and dust particles, which then generates increased cloud formation.
3.) Magnetic Field Reversal - The earth’s magnetic field protects us from much of the galactic high-energy particles that bombard our solar system, and also shields us from the high-energy particles of “solar wind emanating from our Sun. However, the earth’s magnetic field is weakening at an increased rate, while the Earth’s north magnetic pole has, over the past two decades, accelerated in its shift away from the Earth’s geographic pole. With the onset of this cyclic pole reversal (of which we are greatly overdue) and as the field weakens and begins to collapse, the magnetic “barrier” against those high-energy particles becomes less effective, and thus more nucleation of aerosols and dust particles occurs, further increasing cloud formation - and the Earth’s albedo (atmospheric reflectivity). The end result is increased rainfall and global cooling.
The stored heat within our oceans can offset this cooling for a time, but not indefinitely. Eventually we will experience very short growing seasons, global crop failures, and something akin to the Little Ice Age or the Maunder Minimum.
This of course is in stark contrast to the “global warming” nonsense, which for obvious reasons has been rebranded as “climate change.” Well, no sh*t! The Earth’s climate has always experienced these changes, and man has not a thing to do with the phenomena. Nor could man effect the Earth’s climate even if he were to put all his resources to the task. It is the pinnacle of hubris to believe otherwise.
They should have left it as it was after the last releases...was scoured down to bedrock and doing just fine with major water flow. Could have saved millions!!
Cow farts and Gay Frogs !!!
Did you copy the guy who kept us updated on an in-depth and daily basis a couple of years ago?
I think his moniker was EarthEngineer333 or something like that.
So my Dad wasn’t being truthful when he told me that rain came from sad clouds that were crying?
I suppose next you’ll tell me that the moon isn’t made of cheese.

We have pinged him to a couple of recent articles with no response but not this one.
I'm quite concerned about the stress on the spillway and possible malfunction of gates. The thread from 2017 documented everything that could happen if the same bureaucrats control the maintenance problems.
But wasn't it a shot in the arm when Trump via Nunes restarted work on the reservoir system last year? I'm tempted to move to Nunes’ district just to vote for him.
#4. You are about to find out the answer to your question.
SWIM for your life!
LOL!
Who he? (I don’t know his actual FR moniker.)
