I agree with you. There’s too much political power in drought monering. I’d say this article is more lazy than dishonest though.

As magnificent as this season has been, out of 14 ski resorts, only one has exceeded the 2016-2016 accumulation, and that by only a couple inches. Two or three are close, and the rest aren’t especially close. We could struggle along with vast areas of the state under permanent drought conditions if we had this level of Sierra snowpack every year
