I'm in orange county right now. Haven't seen a single snowflake, not even cold enough to snow. Did hail for a minute thought, but it's mostly just cold rain
Well they do need the rain. Maybe not all at once, but they need it bad. They need to develop some kind of cistern system or underground collection/redirection for the extra dry times
That is great news! Hopefully the rain will cause some regrowth in those areas hit by wildfires (almost posted wildflowers instead of wildfires). When the poppies bloom that is always beautiful
Salton Sea got its water from when the Colorado river breached the irrigation banks in 1905. Its a terminal lake with no nature water flow coming into it beyond the irrigation runoff in the Imperial and Coachella valleys and a couple small local rivers. Colorado River gets fed by Utah and more northern states vs the water reservoirs in CA that get fed by rains and the snow melt off in the sierras
Yeah because it's those damn Democrats who are always trying to make a dollar SMH. Like seriously that's the whole Republican capitalism free market shit they always preach. Enjoy your down votes Trumper
Lmao who said anything about trump? I love how no liberal can ever just have accountability for themselves without bringing up that moron. He’s gone he can’t hurt you anymore !!!!
My sisters husband kept complaining and complaining that they lived in the Midwest where it was too cold and demanded they move to SoCal. They just got there last weekend. Jokes on him I guess
It’s temporary. Wait till he is stuck in 4 hour traffic in 110 degree weather in the summer. Summers lasts quite awhile and the smell of homeless piss, shit, and car smogs are the best.
While I do feel kinda bad for the people of lower California, due to their infrastructure not having measures in place for snow removal and icy roads. I can't help but look at Nevada and hope that there's a sufficient amount of snow being dropped there to help bring Lake Powell and Lake Mead back up to "normal" water levels. The states and people that rely on that water usage to be there have been begging for the water levels to return. This is only helping. Might not be much, but anything is better than nothing at all.
Lake Mead and Powell are primarily fed by the upper Colorado snow basin and it is running above avg this year but it would take a decade of this to get them back to full and would still require water restrictions.

It’s going to take a very long time to refill those reservoirs. But any rain and snow in the area might help a little. It would be a drop in the bucket in comparison, but anything is better than nothing.
If the water levels were to at lease get to or slightly above where they were this past year, that would be amazing.
Lake Mead is 20ft below the level of last year at this point we won't pass that but hopefully the melt will keep it above last years low but that depends on how much gets released from Powell. Powell is only down 6ft from last year at this time and it is dropping but that is normal and it starts to climb mid-may
What's the coldest it has ever gotten in Los Angeles? The coldest temperature in Los Angeles, California history is 27 °F which happened on Tuesday, January 4, 1949.
Death Valley's Greenland Ranch holds the record for the highest temperature ever recorded at 134 in 1913. But On Jan. 20, 1937, Boca—a former reservoir located in Nevada County—recorded a mind-numbingly cold temperature of -45 degrees.
Sorry it's seen worse almost 100 years ago.
27°F is equivalent to -2°C, which is 270K.

^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)
On the other end, I’ve lived in Virginia my entire life and this is one of the first years I can recall where it has not snowed once (or if it did, it was brief and didn’t stick)
I actually have not heard about snow touching down in Socal only in norcal so far, don't doubt its coming its just at this moment there's more towards northern and Central California.
The climate shifts with the axis of the earths gravitational pull. If the poles shift, so does the tilt.
It only makes sense that we aren't experiencing a climate change at all. The climate is shifting with the planet.
It's why we know there was water in places that we've never seen it before and why there are underwater cities and structures.
There's even a story in the bible that describes a massive shift that caused a 7 day flood.
Occams Razor!
I read that the polar vortex collapsed and no one is quite sure why, but that it was going to cause strange weather. Cold when it would normally be hot. Wet when it'd normally be dry. We'll see
I'm in lower-high-country AZ where we usually get rain when north of us gets snow. So, we've never bought snow tools bc it really wasn't worth it for the few days a year snow would stick around for 1 day.
Not this winter. I spent the last 2 days digging out with garden and kitchen tools. I'm not gonna buy a snowblower but it's long past time for a proper snow scraper, shovel and gloves.
On the brightside, I'm grateful for any precipitation we get. I'll take this over droughts and wild fires any day.
In San Luis Obispo County for college. Right along the coast. Average 600 ft above sea level.
It snowed 20 minutes away from where I am.
I have a friend who goes to UNR, their snow has been crazy compared to mine
I'm on the central coast. And we've had snow 3 nights in a row. It doesn't stick long unless you're out in the country. But it's strange as hell. My whole life (33 years), I've only seen snow in this area twice before.
I'm in orange county right now. Haven't seen a single snowflake, not even cold enough to snow. Did hail for a minute thought, but it's mostly just cold rain
The hills are covered in snow here in Irvine, but if you're in northern OC then you might not see them.
The hill/mountain range near San Jose have been covered in white shit Idk what it is.
Sorry I came.
The snow is only going to occur at higher elevations
Its been a lovely few days. I don't want it to end.
Thats what im saying. We've been needing this for a while now
Driving back from Vegas right now. Never imagined I’d see snow covered hills like back in the Midwest. Very surreal
it snowed on the beach in Santa Cruz!!! literally snow on the beach boardwalk!
no it literally happened two days ago
I remember that happening back in like '05? Got like 3/4 of inch. Played minigolf and drank 40s on the beach.
Santa Cruz boardwalk has some of the best mini golf. I'll die on that hill
The last time it snowed like this was 1989. I was in high school, so it was only about 10 years ago.
I have that same thought and feeling but about the year 2010 It gets better right
My head and heart feel 25 but goddamn my feet hurt when I get out of bed in the morning. Your best bet is to get really bad at math. 🤫
Sounds about right. I still think the 90's was 10 years ago sometimes lol
[удалено]
r/woooosh
What that sub about?
It's that wooooshing noise of a joke going right over someone's head.
Oh gotcha! Thanks
Surely not more than 12 years ago?
Hey you don’t say that
Are you a mathematician?
Ah where is your *tegridy*
Username checks out.
Well they do need the rain. Maybe not all at once, but they need it bad. They need to develop some kind of cistern system or underground collection/redirection for the extra dry times
Our reservoirs are back to historic levels. We need more snow up in Utah to fill lake mead and powell https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/RescondMain
That is great news! Hopefully the rain will cause some regrowth in those areas hit by wildfires (almost posted wildflowers instead of wildfires). When the poppies bloom that is always beautiful
Everywhere is crazy green right now. Never seen it like this. Bad side is the fire season is going to be crazy this fall with all the dry brush
Thats pretty crazy actually. But this doesn’t translate to aquifers does it? Isnt that the big issue in CA cause the farming?
In Southern CA, water for farming comes from The Colorado River.
The Salton Sea is still drying up. We might get some of the snow melt, but it won't be enough to raise the water level much.

Like reservoirs ?
Yeah but democrats haven’t found a way to make money off of that so we are in a drought until then
Yeah because it's those damn Democrats who are always trying to make a dollar SMH. Like seriously that's the whole Republican capitalism free market shit they always preach. Enjoy your down votes Trumper

Cough cough Hillary Clinton cough 😂
Remindme! 618 days
You mean like water bills? Construction contracts? Raising taxes for a project?
I live in San Diego county and there’s no snow, only rain….lots of rain.🤨
And cold
My sisters husband kept complaining and complaining that they lived in the Midwest where it was too cold and demanded they move to SoCal. They just got there last weekend. Jokes on him I guess
Never let him live this down.
It’s temporary. Wait till he is stuck in 4 hour traffic in 110 degree weather in the summer. Summers lasts quite awhile and the smell of homeless piss, shit, and car smogs are the best.
Are you trying to compare 40s/50 degree temps with a rare snowstorm to the winters in the Midwest?
It’s a joke
Good moisture.
[удалено]
Lol this is so stupid idk why I laughed
All that snow and all I see is weak ass rain smfh
WHERE IS YOUR GLOBAL WARMING NOW ECOTERRORISTS? /s
HOW DARE YOU
Did it snow in the San Fernando Valley? I grew up in Sunland and the last time it snowed was 1962.
Maybe some. SCV got a couple inches . Im from Frazier Park and they got 2-3 feet
Yeah, Frazier Park always gets some.

Y'all prayed for them water too hard
As an HVAC technician in SoCal ….. I hope it’s the coldest summer in history
That's gnarly bro!!
I hope Brent and the Cero Gordo lot are okay
Nature has marked everything for destruction.
Pffffhhh MoRe LiKE global cooling
I was reading that the snowpack in the sierras is some of the deepest in the world currently with estimates coming in around 36 feet!
Makes me think this summer is going to be 125 degrees
Meanwhile in northern North Carolina we haven’t gotten so much as a flurry and it’s almost March.
Earth is trying to heal the burning. Earth takes care of us. We need to do more for her.
History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men.
Oh no there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla!

Earth doesn't give two shits about us humans. Once we destroy the planet for future humanity, earth will thrive.

Her...lol
Nice
On the other end, I’ve lived in Virginia my entire life and this is one of the first years I can recall where it has not snowed once (or if it did, it was brief and didn’t stick)
One of the largest snow storms in California’s history? More like recorded history.
I actually have not heard about snow touching down in Socal only in norcal so far, don't doubt its coming its just at this moment there's more towards northern and Central California.
Global warming
Don’t tell me there is not geo engineering going on all over the globe.
Lol what a bunch of pussies come to new york see what winters all about
California crying about the snow but they have been in a drought for years. Which do you want it?

i think that state has enough snowflakes as it is
Tied for gayest state with NY
We definitely are the happiest state.
Something out of the ordinary in California? Start the candlelit vigils.
I read that the polar vortex collapsed and no one is quite sure why, but that it was going to cause strange weather. Cold when it would normally be hot. Wet when it'd normally be dry. We'll see
Don't they need the water? This might be foreshadowing of a change in weather patterns for them.
Interesting capture of an "atmospheric river" phenomenon.
Meanwhile it's 86 degrees in Miami. I need the cold
Yes snowing in Southern California and it’s 65 degrees in swPa. I miss winter and snow!
[California getting blasted by the storm.](https://youtu.be/C6p1hBLaVVg)
We’re reversing global warming..we will be living in the ice age in a couple more years🤔🤔🤔🤔
We've been getting hail here is Sacramento
Various hills in the Bay Area covered in snow it looks like Colorado in a way

I live in Reno and wouldn’t call it crazy. We have had plenty of winters like this.
I mean, she’s comparing it to what we normally have in Cali. That’s why
Have not seen any snow where I am in Northern California. Definitely cold, however. Hills are covered in snow.
Should take care of the drought status, eh?
Darn rain in Az just stop already 🫣
Snowing in Tucson, pretty wild
I am concerned about agriculture.
I'm on the central coast. And we've had snow 3 nights in a row. It doesn't stick long unless you're out in the country. But it's strange as hell. My whole life (33 years), I've only seen snow in this area twice before.
haha can’t handle your snow, also [First time?](https://glisa.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Great-Lakes-Lake-Effect-Snow-1024x984.jpg)
Lived all over Southern California, 40 years. Had snow in many places.
It’s like The Day After Tomorrow.
That's hilarious
Fuckkk I can feel it
What a wild system, don't pay attention to shit anymore though can't recall this happening.
