What an unbelievable comeback California's snowpack has made this year, going from just 28% of normal on January 1 to 104% of normal today. This pretty much guarantees that California will be drought-free again this summer for the second year in a row! #CAwx
@US_Stormwatch The oldest site for snow measurements in california is only 70 years old. Also in this article it states that we usually get most of the snow in march/April. Meaning this is actually normal. kymkemp.com/2024/03/07/win…
@US_Stormwatch Yes but we need more dams to keep the water stored.
@US_Stormwatch I bet the water companies will not end their drought pricing though. It is too profitable. Rates are up almost 20% since Jan 2023 .
@US_Stormwatch Millions of Mexico City residents (chilangos) will move to LA because of the abundance of water which México City lacks.
@US_Stormwatch They were saying 104% of normal before this last storm began.
@US_Stormwatch We’ll have to see if anything is going to blown out by a rapid melt off.
@US_Stormwatch Climate is changing the right way
@US_Stormwatch Nah it just guarantees they will let it run all the way back to the ocean
@US_Stormwatch Well, tbf it's still winter. We're likely to get another storm or two. That's my guess at any rate.
@US_Stormwatch May they should build some reservoirs?
