When does the media's "Global Warming" revert to "weather"? When weather disrupts the narrative.

California's snow drought ends thanks to two weeks of bad weather

California got some good news this past week as massive snow storms which dumped several feet of the white stuff on the Sierra Nevada Mountains boosted the drought-stricken state’s average snowpack - with more stormy weather in the forecast for the coming days.

In a seven-day span, California saw its average snowpack surged from just 18 percent to 98 percent. That means that the total snow accumulation for this time of year is around normal.

Snowpack is snow that lies on the ground in mountainous areas. When the weather gets warmer, the snowpack melts and flows into lakes and reservoirs where it becomes an important source of freshwater.

The snowpack atop the Sierra Nevada is critical for California because it supplies around 30 percent of the state’s water.

Meteorologists in the Golden State said that it is critical that the Sierra Nevada snowpack be higher than usual this winter in order to offset severe drought conditions which forced Governor Gavin Newsom to ask residents to voluntarily reduce water usage.

And had California not abandoned its plan to build new reservoirs — the last one was completed in 1970 — there would be a way to capture all that melting snow next spring and hold it in reserve. Of course, because while it stopped building water reserves as the population doubled, the state has continued and greatly expanded its release of billions of gallons of water into the ocean, to save the chubb minnow.

Good and harder.
