In other words, California got a winter storm.
Soon the Department of Drought will be called the Emergency Flood Control.
When the Pineapple Express is in town, the rain lasts for days. However, it’s not a cold rain and the snow level is usually quite high.
Will this be the time part of California falls into the Pacific Ocean? Asking for a friend.
Pineapple Express is a weed strain
We are sogging wet already.
known as the “Pineapple Express,” in a nod to the storm’s fuel source due to its Hawaiian origins

OK, People!
This is a Cultural Misappropriation and Macro Insult of the highest order.
Pineapples are not native to Hawaii.
People lose their jobs over this. Lifetime bans.
Especially coming from the Haole networks. Ban them all.

Think how much worse it could be if we didn’t have global warming. It’d probably drop down to minus 451°.
Pineapple Express is a Sativa dominant strain with a 60:40 sativa/indica ratio. The strain is quite popular and has achieved recognition thanks to the stoner film of the same name.
But...climate change
Glowbull Warming is to blame.
Hopefully it doesn’t melt the entire snowpack. Last time that happened there was record flooding, and there’s nowhere to put the water, except out to sea
It’s a triple whammy, beat your fanny, Pacific pulverizer. they’ll be clinging onto logs in San Francisco. Not those kind of logs.
May put a dent in the low lake and Colorado river water levels once the snow melts.
Bomb, Cyclone, Express
Danger, Danger, Will Robinson!
Born and raised in Northern California. None of this is new. The old Pineapple Express had nothing to do with cold temps. The high in Sacramento today was 50 degrees, hardly tropical.
I remember in the 1960s in the San Francisco area, it would become a little warmer in late November, and the term Indian Summer was invented. Then, locals started calling anything warm in September or October, Indian Summer. I ceased paying attention to most all weather reports many, many moons ago. They cannot predict anything. And, the phraseology they use is hilarious: perhaps, chance of, partial, maybe... If I used those terms in any job I ever had, I wouldn’t be ‘partially’ fired.
And yes, I remain in what is now Kalifornia because of family. We do have our eye on Texas, Montana, Wyoming, and Florida. Perhaps, maybe we can convince enough family to move with us, and then, we are out of here!
This has been called The Pineapple Express for decades.
It’s just a bunch of warm rain. California needs it. Dam the rivers, build reservoirs and maybe we can survive the next five years of drought and fires. It’s cyclic.
Buncha hooey.
So...
...the drought’s over, huh?
Imagine that. /s
Cross your fingers, but one report I heard said this storm will be significantly cooler than last week’s storm. So more of it will fall as snow in the mountains and we won’t get so much runoff down in the valley.
