California is bracing for a powerful winter storm that could bring up to 10 feet of snow and high winds to the Sierra Nevada.

“A second winter storm will impact the West Coast on Thursday and Friday,” the National Weather Service’s (NWS) Weather Prediction Center said in a forecast discussion Thursday.

“The storm will create heavy mountain snow that will affect many passes. Multiple feet of snow are likely (over 80% chance) for higher elevations, especially above 5000 feet, including many Cascade and Sierra Nevada Mountain passes,” the notice added. “Extremely heavy snow rates surpassing 3 inches per hour are likely.”

Is this global warming or global cooling or climate change?? I'm so confused 🤔🙄

[frank ballenger]

Thanks to global warming it will be all in the form of rain.
Oh, wait.

The spring melt off will be epic.

I imagine it was a storm like this that caught the Donner party off guard.

Late season storms can be hard hitters.

I remember the east coast March 1993 “superstorm” blizzard like it was yesterday.

[EvilCapitalist]

So do I. I was 13 at the time.

“Worst drought in 12,000 years! We’ll never have rainfall again! This drought is PERMANENT!”

Blah, blah, blah. Every 11 or so years, right on schedule.

[rktman]

I’ll let y’all know when it’s over.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Some friends just went to Death Valley yesterday to see the spring bloom. It should be spectacular.

[Fungi]

Hard up for news Shill?

[LegendHasIt]

More ‘climate change fear porn’????

I hope that is all it is.... from the current satellite weather images, it doesn’t look like much of a storm to me... Unless they mean Thursday and Friday of NEXT week.

Still not enough reservoirs in California. All that rain and it gets flushed down the rivers into the ocean. Next year they will be saying that we are in a drought again. Of course the worse drought ever. The politicians are not getting enough bribes and kickbacks to make it worth their while to build more dams.

Impossible.

They told us just a few years ago we were in a forever drought.

Why is The Hill reporting on weather forecasts 3,000 miles away?

A melt off that could provide months of fresh water supply except that cheap, semiliterate whore Newsome will flush into the Pacific to save the San Pedro sand mite, or some such.

He's already destroyed the spawning ground for salmon, but, who's counting? Right?

[Lazamataz]

Why for you attack ChicagoConservative? He (or she?) posts stories nonstop and I, for one, appreciate their dedication.

The spring melt off will be epic.

If only California had built more reservoirs to contain it all...

But no, the habitat of some one-eyed buttermoth was threatened.
