  1. And speaking of snow SEASONS … look at the Squaw Valley snow statistics for last year (a drought year according to government LIARS) . Scroll down for the yearly statistics.

    https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/snowfall-tracker

    Note that we had an all-time RECORD amount of snow in December 2021… 212” fell at Squaw. Then … a highly unusually dry: Jan, Feb, and March. All you heard on the propagandist news was doom, gloom, and CA’s neverending global warming drought. And … all those news stations and weather experts said it would be IMPOSSIBLE to ever “catch up” in April … ohhhhhhh mommmaaaaaaa … they wailed … we will never catch up in April (the last month of the rainy season) . Well … as you’ll note 86” of snow fell in April … near all time RECORD for April … bringing the yearly total up to 350” … just slightly below seasonal norms.

    But you never heard a peep from the propagandist media about the rainfall/snowfall “catch up” that took place in April. Nope. Utter silence. Because it didn’t fit the global Warmist hysterical narrative. We are constantly lectured about how “weather isn’t climate” by these C- students posing as climate experts … but someone needs to remind them that a Rainy SEASON should not be confused with a Rainy DAY! Or even a Rainy MONTH.

    Sadly, I don’t believe the average TiKTok, Twitter, Faquebook addicted twit of a citizen is bothered to “think” so deeply. They just swallow whatever the media spoonfeeds them … and they LOVE being titillated by ohhhhhhhhh mommmaaaaaa … doom and gloom … and the End Times of Gaia.

  3. Shit! Kate just ERASED a post that took me some time to assemble … I assume because I included two links.
    So, I shall break the post into two parts:

    Part 1: last Friday’s Mar. 3 snow survey by the State of CA DWR
    https://resources.ca.gov/Home/News/News-Releases/2023/March-23/March-2023-Snow-Survey

    Central Sierra (Phillips Station): 116.5” of snow, with a water equiv. of 41.5” – 177% of average
    Whole State: water equiv. 44.7” – 190% of average

    As I will show in the next post … the DWR statistics actually indicate that the % of average is FALLING … while the actual amount of snow is increasing. While this may be “statistically accurate” … it is HIGHLY DECEPTIVE. The deception lies (pun intended) in the idiocy of using a single DAY (let alone single MONTH) as a proxy for an entire snow SEASON.

    This is the same statistical ruse the “Drought Monitor” uses to paint their scary looking maps that STILL show CA as 83% “Abnormally Dry” … and 25% of the State experiencing EXTREME drought. It’s utter nonsense to use SINGLE DAYS as data points relative to “normal” or “average” … which is what they do. What happened to Rainy SEASONS (months long) … and CLIMATE (decades long)?

  4. Part 2: The Feb. 1 snow survey by the State of CA DWR
    https://resources.ca.gov/Home/News/News-Releases/2023/Feb-23/Second-Snow-Survey-Reflects-Boost-from-Atmospheric-Rivers

    Central Sierra (Phillips Station): 83.5” of snow, with a water equiv. of 33.5” – 193% of average
    Whole State: no detailed stats given – 205% of average

    So LOTS MORE SNOW fell in Feb. … but the % of average FELL. This is how statistics can be used to bend reality to conform to whatever the global Warmists want to show. That’s what’s WRONG when using a single DAY as a proxy for a NORMAL or AVERAGE … SEASON.

    1. Kenji nails it!

      “If you torture the data long enough, it will confess.”
      Ronald Coase, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Chicago Law School & 1991 Nobel Prize winner for Economics.

      Both the U.S. Drought Monitor & the Palmer Drought Severity Index have been taken over by climate alarmists who torture the data to make it confess to whatever they want.

      1. It’s much easier to find a SINGLE DAY … as “drier” than other years of that SINGLE DAY … than to compare entire rainy seasons. This single day comparison bullshit needs to STOP. Instead … analyze the ENTIRE Rainy seasons … including the rate of runoff and inflow into reservoirs that occurs AFTER the Rainy season.

        These monthly snow surveys are utter rubbish and are not true indications of the entire rainy/snow season. For example … oftentimes rain falls on the snowpack they measure and melts inches if not feet of that snowpack between monthly measurements. So their “data” never records the runoff lost between measurements. And that’s what they’re supposedly measuring … the water runoff locked into the snow.

        Instead, they just moan and cry “global warming” if the snowpack falls between measurements. We are Being LIED TO … and then they call you a “science denier” … When their data and measurements are fatally flawed

        1. I didn’t do a conversion. I looked at the thermometer when I posted. And that’s what it was in east Calgary at that particular time.

  7. When it’s too hot and dry, it is climate.
    When it is too cold and precipitous, it is weather!

    I have a freind living in the Cariboo-Chilcotin area of BC, they have also had a record amount of snowfall this past month. Their community was snowed in for about a week, with people using their own heavy equipment to plow a trail
    to others homes as the local roads contractor could not keep up with the snowfall amount (another story in itself) and still could not get out to the main road. Mail service was suspended and food stocks running low.
    It was very similar to what places in California is going through now, Like Big Bear, etc.
    if it all melts quickly again this spring, more flooding will probably occur, downstream.

    I hear Orovile Dam is almost full again and may get to test out its new spillway, when the drought hits this spring!

    Kenji: I get clipped too, sometimes, writing long or linked posts. I find it helps to at least copy your composition to a clipboard or note pad, just before you post , so you don’t loose your eloquent inputs!

  8. Second offspring went off to pursue studies in Slovakia in September, 2001. Visited her that Christmas to find cold and icy but not too much snow. The next few months’ emails were as follows: offspring – the snowdrops are out, me – it’s snowing; offspring – the crocuses are out, me -it’s snowing; offspring – the daffodils are out, me = it’s snowing. I think we got past lilacs to roses before offspring came home for the summer and to work. Offspring went off to work just west of us and realized there was still a fair bit of snow in home province.
