The weather is all fucked up. Here at the California-Oregon border we were bombed on with heavy snow for a little over a week. So much snow it was knocking down trees. The last week has been clear skies 60 degree temps. It's another warm, spring feeling winter that suddenly switches to blizzard conditions. The info in the OPs post seems contradicting, and it is, but it's also true.
The weather is so fucked up that it is a warm winter with tons of snow.
Unfortunately that sort of weather still contributes to drought conditions because when it warms up like this after a blizzard the snow at the peaks melts away. That snow should stay there until July slowly releasing water to the rivers but it willll be gone by next Wednesday if this warm weather persists.
