Strangest Winter I've Ever Seen

It's so damn-flam warm in California, and dry too, that the FNMOC NOGAPS model is suggesting that a tropical storm will generate between Hawaii and the mainland in about a week, and perhaps approach California after that. In the winter. In January. Of all months!

Now, I don't think that tropical storm will happen: the NOGAPS model is always a bit too sensitive, and nucleates tropical storms far too easily. Still, just the fact that it's warm enough to even think of such a thing shows just what a screwed-up winter it really is!

The snowpack is at 19% of normal.
