BLI snowman Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 No one storm is going to erase the drought. Even a huge snowstorm in the Sierras down to 5,000' wouldn't matter much if the late winter/early spring torches and it's all gone by summer. In light of how little rain CA has gotten the past 5 weeks or so, this storm is significant. It doesn't solve the long term issue, but it provides some relief in the short term, more water in the reservoirs, and buys some time for things to get better before they could get worse again. Put it this way: if it weren't for the big mid December storm and this upcoming one, the water outlook for the next few months in CA would be much more dire. We're going in circles here. Yes, rainfall helps. No, it won't change the long term outlook too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverIslandSouth Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Pretty decent winter storm up for NW BC, looks like several feet of snow and strong outflow winds in the Terrace region. Quite a strong temperature gradient up there too, 48/46F in Prince Rupert and 27/25F a little under 100 miles away in Terrace. Wish they had radar coverage in that region.

Phil Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Apparently 97% of the world's leading scientists disagree with statistics and physical reality then, silly!Apparently you're very gullible. You're recanting decade-old surveys that have since been refuted, silly! I can tell you, the real number is far lower..more like 60-70%. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303480304579578462813553136 Yet the assertion that 97% of scientists believe that climate change is a man-made, urgent problem is a fiction. The so-called consensus comes from a handful of surveys and abstract-counting exercises that have been contradicted by more reliable research. In 2013, John Cook, an Australia-based blogger, and some of his friends reviewed abstracts of peer-reviewed papers published from 1991 to 2011. Mr. Cook reported that 97% of those who stated a position explicitly or implicitly suggest that human activity is responsible for some warming. His findings were published in Environmental Research Letters. Mr. Cook's work was quickly debunked. In Science and Education in August 2013, for example, David R. Legates (a professor of geography at the University of Delaware and former director of its Center for Climatic Research) and three coauthors reviewed the same papers as did Mr. Cook and found "only 41 papers—0.3 percent of all 11,944 abstracts or 1.0 percent of the 4,014 expressing an opinion, and not 97.1 percent—had been found to endorse" the claim that human activity is causing most of the current warming. Elsewhere, climate scientists including Craig Idso, Nicola Scafetta, Nir J. Shaviv and Nils- Axel Morner, whose research questions the alleged consensus, protested that Mr. Cook ignored or misrepresented their work.
