LET IT SNOW!

Here in Northern California, after months of lectures from people following the science about permanent drought caused by gas powered cars, lawnmowers, and standby generators, we are getting drenched with rain. That rain is dumping multiple of feet of snow in the mountains. While I did not predict this, it was no surprise. Anyone who has done five minutes research on our weather knows that we get periods of drought, and we get periods of wet. This has gone on for centuries. Since the Arctic has much more ice than last year, the Pacific Ocean is colder, the Atlantic Ocean is colder, and Antarctica had record LOW temperatures it just seemed “possible” we would get cold wet weather.

One would think they would show SOME caution when we got record rainfall in October. But these people are seldom deterred or even slowed down by inconvenient facts. They want, they need, to believe in global warming otherwise no one will buy the nonsense they are trying to sell. Even if there was global warming, which is open to dispute, nothing they are proposing is remotely capable of changing anything. I still don’t understand why no one in the MSM has pointed this out. It is the equivalent to trying to stop a hurricane by handing out cheap umbrellas. It may look like you are doing something, but in the end, it is ridiculously inadequate.

There are still some people, the usual suspects, predicting endless drought. These are the same people telling Governor Newsom that having people wear masks, again, will somehow produce different results. But it is raining today, and it will rain again next Monday. Yesterday, Los Angeles got 2.16 inches of rain, breaking a record set in 1888. But note the following note from the true believers:

DTLA breaks rainfall record after seeing no rain at all for entire month of November (ktla.com)

“While the recent storm brought much needed rain, Southern California is expected to see a drier than normal winter as La Niña conditions continue into winter, a seasonal outlook from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration showed.”

Who do you believe? The people on TV or what you see looking out your window.

My person guide to the weather is listening to the usual suspects who are wrong about everything and expect the opposite. If someone like Al Gore predicts all the Arctic Ice will be gone in five years, buy a better winter coat and cancel that cruise to the North Pole. If these clowns predict drought, buy an umbrella, consider a boat, and research flood insurance. If they tell you wearing masks prevents the spread of covid, avoiding going near people wearing masks. This is the same approach that didn’t work last time. If they think vaccines work, look up hydroxychloroquine and natural immunity. And if you are planning on driving in the high Sierra, anytime soon, bring chains or a vehicle with four wheel drive and snow tires, and if you are smart, bring both.

Let it snow! I am prepared. The two best players on the SF Giants are Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford. So, I bought my “Let’s Go Brandon” hat keep me warm and also cheer them on. Some people have interpreted this display of support differently, for reasons I fail to understand, but that is their problem, not mine.
