#1 Since the precipitation will help ameliorate the drought, surely Californians will be pleased to give up heat and power for a while. After all, what is being a Californian but sacrificing their comfort for the greater good of the environment.

#2 Winter Storm Is Set To Dump Eight Feet Of Snow

In the summer environmental activists call it global warming. During the winter they switch the lingo to climate change...

#3 It will be a "record breaking" amount of snow. In the spring, California's water situation will be blamed on the "non-existent snow-pack."

NOTE: This is the Northern CAL Cascade Mts.
Yes !!! Pacific stream moisture and the usual "winter" winds cause snow. In 3-4 months it will be followed by the usual Spring thaw, flooding, mud and landslides, summer heat waves, wild fires and arson fires set by environmentalists trying desperately to prove a "Climate" point.

This happens every year, its pretty much a normal, but broad weather cycle.

eg. California has experienced many droughts over the lat 150++ years/ Such as 1841, 1864, 1924, 1928-1935, 1947-1950, 1959-1960, 1976-1977, 1986-1992, 2006-2010, 2011-2017, 2018 and 2020-2021.

BTW: The Donner Summit California same general northern area (1900-2020) usual sees 343" (28ft.) to low 400" (33ft.).

While just 50 miles west Yuba CA. can barely muster 2" of snow.
Mt. Hood is expecting 22"

#5 Pacific Gas & Electric said the storm may cause power outages in the Bay Area

What did Socialists use before candles? Electricity.

#6 I predict whale oil will make a comeback for lamps. Watch the green crowd have hemorrhages over that...

#8 interesting from a Meteorological point

the storm originated in the Gulf of Alaska where the surface ocean temperature is a few degrees below normal and as the storm moves down the coast it will tap moisture from the Gulf of California and vicinity which is a bit above normal

probably this gives a moisture stream with a return occurrence of 5 to 10 years

#9 A good view of this is via a product of the AZ Univ which shows the changing 500mb (about 18k feet) and the infrared water vapor on the same loop.
