It’s not extreme. It’s winter ⛄️ 🥶 ❄️ that’s all. Happy holidays y’all.

[hunterbiden]

It’s not me, it’s not you, it’s not CO2, it’s the sun.

I just hope everyone stays safe but California and few of those other states desperately needs this right now.

[x-men-]

They need more of these. more rain more snow

[Lizablue]

South Lake Tahoe is my hometown..❄️ ☃️ I miss it. 🙏🏼 For NO tornadoes! 🌪 Be safe out there.

[lorriebrundige]

Complete protection for everyone. Amen

snow will be a thing of the past - Al Gore

Much needed to counter the drought. However we need to stop oil fracking that uses millions of gallons of our water supplies AND we need to limit bottled water companies from endlessly siphoning the water.

I think for here in the midwest especially where I am, this is the most snow we have had in years, hopefully it helps our drought, we need the moisture

[sureshots]

Hope at least all this water will lead to less forest fires in the summer.

I use to be a truck driver if there is one thing I don't miss its that damn weather out west. Drive safe truckers!

THE QUESTION IS:
WILL THE GREAT PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA GET THE WATER RESIVOURS EMPTIED INTO THE OCEAN BEFORE THE SNOW CAN EVEN STOP AND THEN START TALKING DROUGHT!!! YEAAA

[michaels]

I know that there are some issues with precipitation, but the parched West needs it bad. Keep it coming!

[satyanarayanaparuchuru]

Chill creates health problem if we do not get protected from chilling

[chupacabra]

California to Colorado, 20 more storms like this please, cold temps for snow snow snow on the mountains from the Sierras to the Rockies. Some flooding in the central valley to fill the aquifers. Let's prey that this continues, Id take some flooding over the shortage of water and the incesant fires in the summer any day. Water water everywhere.!!

I just came to see all the commenters who don't understand the difference between weather and climate.

[femto]

"California has not seen rain like this in years". Didn't we have an atmospheric river that dumped 9-12in of rain and the interstate was shutdown to Tahoe for several days back in April.

[obiwan]

Hooray extreme winter weather! More please! Great ski conditions! Mild fire season! Full reservoirs (except where fools are ripping out dams instead of building new ones!) Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

[LexyTheEbikeQueen]

Wow never knew it snowed in California
