California’s ‘White Christmas’ Breaks December Snowfall Record in Sierra, Easing Drought
Breitbart ^ | 28 Dec 2021 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 12/28/2021 3:35:17 PM PST by Hojczyk

The San Francisco Chronicle reported:

On Monday, the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, located northwest of Lake Tahoe at Donner Pass, recorded 38.9 inches of snowfall over the previous 24 hours — bringing the monthly total to 193.7 inches so far for December. The previous December record was in 1970, with 179 inches of snow.

“We smashed the snowfall record for December, which is crazy because it didn’t start snowing until about three weeks ago, and we didn’t have any snow for six weeks prior to that,” [OpenSnow forecaster Brian] Allegretto said.

After receiving huge early-season snow dumps at the end of October, Tahoe was hit with a warm, dry spell in November that kept the mountains around Tahoe all but dirt bare.

This month’s mammoth snowstorms also helped bolster California’s snowpack: The state increased its snowpack average from 18% on Dec. 1 to 153% through Monday, according to state data.

Snow continued into the week, with storms Monday and Tuesday, and possibly on Friday as well, the last day of December.

Other mountainous parts of California, including the mountains north of San Bernardino, have received heavy snowfall this week, bringing a late “white Christmas” to the higher elevations in the state, and much-needed rain below.

AOC is studying this issue hard. She will tweet why this means there is more Global Warming.

I live here in SoCal. 54 years.
We get plenty of rain/snow. Some years more than others, sure, but super wet years come as often as the dry ones.
We suffer water shortages bc no new dams, storage AT ALL for 50 years despite quadrupling the population.
All of this rain/snow this winter will be washed into the Pacific. Watch. We’ll be in a “drought” by June.

California will likely open the reservoir gates to drain away the abundance and perpetuate the drought. Some cheesy excuse like preserving the habitat of the quarter inch polka-dotted mud burrower that may have existed there a hundred years before but hasn’t been seen since.

Their state motto is that “Rationing is the life blood of growing government.”

True. The morons running this once great state refuse to build reservoirs and instead release water into the ocean in good times instead of keeping it in reservoirs.

Common sense isn’t common anymore. Especially in California.

I like Al Baby’s joke. Go to a restaurant and give your name as Donner on the wait list then wait for, “Donner Party of 4”.

You would be told that that you no understanding of thermal-dynamics...

Good morning of the Earth has been through five known ice ages that geologist can positively identify.

And then you tell them that you definitely believe in global warming. In fact it’s your general understanding that the Earth has been warming up since the last ice age. And given the geologic history of the planet that we occupy... there is probably going to be another Ice Age at some point in earth’s future.

There is one new thing about his current cycle that we are experiencing and that is this might be the first time taxpayers have been thoroughly fleeced over a natural occurring cycle in Earth’s history.

EASING THE DROUGHT?

Don't bet on it! The environazis know full well that we only have enough water storage for 26 million people. Every other
ounce of water flows out to the ocean.

This is why the communist government of California says, even today, that the drought is still (and forevermore) with us.

White Christmas was a hideously awful spin-off of Holiday Inn, a really great movie with several scenes surrounding Lincoln's Birthday that are now somewhat awkward.
