A new weather system was predicted by afternoon or evening, but the National Weather Service (NWS) said the rain would be modest until the arrival late Tuesday of another strong atmospheric river delivering a long plume of Pacific Ocean moisture.

The Bay Area office of the National Weather Service did not mince words about the approaching atmospheric river, warning it could have catastrophic impacts across the region.

"To put it simply, this will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale that this meteorologist has seen in a long while," the statement read. "The impacts will include widespread flooding, roads washing out, hillside collapsing, trees down (potentially full groves), widespread power outages, immediate disruption to commerce, and the worst of all, likely loss of human life.

Quick, Nancy! Open the gates to your mansion and let the homeless take shelter! Show your empathy. Show your compassion. Serve ice cream to your guests. Hide the hammers.

Last weeks storm in Reno was pretty cool, still plenty of snow and ice covering the streets. It just now started snowing a half hour ago, here we go again. Back in my college days, we would load up on beer, drive around town in blizzards in our 4WD, and pull stuck people out.

From the same people that brought us “Bomb Cyclone”, now we have “Atmospheric River”.

What was wrong with the old “Heavy Rain”?

They have already spent millions deploying the Preserve the Poop task force to build barriers around the poop to preserve it.
