The calendar may show spring is halfway to summer, but it's still snowing in California.
In the Sierra Nevada, the Heavenly ski resort at Lake Tahoe reported Wednesday that 15 inches of snow had fallen over 48 hours, burnishing the epic snowpack left by a relentlessly wet winter.
Northwest of Tahoe, 5.5 inches was recorded over two days at the University of California, Berkeley, Central Sierra Snow Lab, raising its season total to 743 inches.
"Another 2.6" of snow over the last 24 hours brings our 2-day total to 5.5" and our season total to 743," researchers at the lab tweeted. "As expected, we're still seeing melt but the rate has slowed due to the clouds and cooler temps."
Strikingly, winter weather advisories were to take effect Wednesday night in Southern California mountain ranges. Forecasters predicted 4-8 inches of snow above 6,000 feet and local totals up to 14 inches.
A dusting of snow was possible at lower elevations, potentially affecting the Grapevine section of vital Interstate 5 that climbs through the mountains between Los Angeles and the San Joaquin Valley.
The National Weather Service said unusual weather was being caused by an unseasonably cold system spinning off San Francisco Bay.
The system was expected to drop southward, although forecasters noted there was uncertainty because it was cut off from upper-level flow and its movement was slower than expected.
California appeared to be heading into a fourth year of devastating drought before back-to-back atmospheric rivers dumped huge amounts of rain and snow between late December and March, burying the Sierra in snow and raising the threat of flooding.
The state Department of Water Resources said this week that despite a brief increase in temperatures in late April, the snowpack has melted at a slower pace than average due to below average temperatures early in the month and cloud cover.
As of Wednesday, the water content of the statewide snowpack was 263% of average to date and a staggering 341% in the southern Sierra, according to online data from the department.
The HAARP systems are causing unnatural weather patterns. It is clearly apparent even here in Central America where the “dry” season simply isn’t anymore. Also, the unnatural earthquakes, which almost all have hit countries unfriendly to the Talmudic racists, have not harmed the US or Israel. Edgar Cayce said this is what caused the destruction of Atlantis. The earthquake causing technology was weaponized, and the vibrational frequency caused the crystal veins between the enormous bedrocks, to liquefy, and hence, the entire continent quickly slipped under the surrounding waters. History repeats itself.
Those who site HARRP as a propaganda means of manipulating Earth's atmosphere and weather and have been influenced by a notion that has no place when doing serious weather observations.
As for Harrp being used to influence tectonic movements, that's verging on damned right silly.
Winternights3 I never said harp affects the ground. It bubbles the upper atmosphere out and manipulates currents. Learn to read. That’s why I said “also”. I don’t even know the machines that can cause earthquakes but I would bet my last dollar they either have them or are experimenting on them. I suppose spraying the atmosphere with chemicals to control weather is a conspiracy theory to you as well. Let me guess, you believe men went to the moon and the World Trade Center collapsed because of fire……
These are all signs from Mother Nature, best folk start taking notice.
