Dust Bowl 2.0: California's Historic Drought About To Get Even Worse As "Snowpack Melts Early Across The West"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It has been a bad year for California whose drought is rapidly approaching historic proportions: according to the LA Times, which cites climatologist Michael Anderson, "you’re looking on numbers that are right on par with what was the Dust Bowl."

 

It is about to get even worse. According to the USDA, the west-wide snowpack is melting earlier than usual, according to data from the fourth 2015 forecast by the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

"Almost all of the West Coast continues to have record low snowpack," NRCS Hydrologist David Garen said. "March was warm and dry in most of the West; as a result, snow is melting earlier than usual."

It is only fitting that while economists blame a "overly cold winter" for sliding GDP, weathermen blame an overly warm winter for the California's historic drought.

More from the USDA:

Historically, April 1 is the peak snowpack. This year, the peak came earlier. There was little snow accumulation in March, and much of the existing snow has already melted.

 

"The only holdouts are higher elevations in the Rockies," said Garen. "Look at the map and you'll see that almost everywhere else is red." Red indicates less than half of the normal snowpack remains.

 

A consequence of the early snowmelt is that Western states will have reduced streamflow later this spring and summer.

 

In Western states where snowmelt accounts for the majority of seasonal water supply, information about snowpack serves as an indicator of future water availability. Streamflow in the West consists largely of accumulated mountain snow that melts and flows into streams as temperatures warm in spring and summer. National Water and Climate Center scientists analyze the snowpack, precipitation, air temperature and other measurements taken from remote sites to develop the water supply forecasts.

 

NRCS monitors conditions year-round and will continue to issue monthly forecasts until June. The water supply forecast is part of several USDA efforts to improve public awareness and manage the impacts of climate change, including drought and other extreme weather events. Through the creation of the National Drought Resilience Partnership, launched as part of the President's Climate Action Plan, federal agencies are working closely with states, tribes and local governments to develop a coordinated response to drought.

Which can only mean one thing: a whole lot of taxpayer money is about to be spent on the "coordinated drought response."

Here are the details from the Western Snowpack report.

Precipitation

Precipitation during March was well below normal throughout almost the entire West, with the exception of Interior Alaska. Precipitation thus far in the water year (beginning October 1, 2014) is now below normal over most of the West except for some northwestern areas and coastal Alaska. Snowpack has declined significantly since last month throughout the West due to the warm and dry March. Only high- elevation areas in the Rocky Mountains and Interior Alaska retain somewhat near normal snowpack. Streamflow forecasts have dropped since last month due to a lack of snow accumulation during March and an early snowmelt, with most regions now expecting below normal streamflow. Reservoir storage is currently below normal in the Southwest and Nevada, with near to above normal storage elsewhere.

 

Precipitation for the 2015 water year-to-date is now below normal over most of the West except for some northwestern areas. The dry March has significantly affected this picture since a month ago, when far more of the West was near normal.

Snowpack

Snowpack at SNOTEL sites and snow courses as of April 1 in the western U.S. and the Columbia Basin in Canada has declined significantly since last month.

Snowmelt has begun early this year throughout most of the West, leading to significant snowpack losses and corresponding increases in streamflow during March.

Although a major storm during the first few days of March struck areas of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, the resulting snowpack accumulations have since melted.
Western parts of the region still have record-breaking low snowpack, as they have had all winter. Snowpack is nearly gone in Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and much of New Mexico. Only areas of high elevation along the crest of the Rockies – in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and British Columbia – retain snowpack in the near normal or only somewhat below normal categories.

Snowpack in Alaska remains below normal in coastal areas and near normal in the Interior.

 

Streamflow Forecasts

Streamflow forecasts are moderately to extremely below normal for most of the West. Only a few areas in the Rocky Mountains and Interior Alaska are near normal. Forecasts have dropped significantly since last month. This is due to the warm and dry March, which has led not only to reduced snowpack accumulation but also to early melt. With snowpack melting and streamflow rising already in March, less snowmelt remains for the usual water supply forecast periods beginning in April.

 

Reservoir Storage

Reservoir storage levels are well below average in the Southwest and Nevada, while they are near to above average elsewhere in the West.

 

The California state report:

California: Snowpack is at record low levels, which is relied upon as the primary source of the summer water supply. With very little snowmelt runoff, the current reservoir contents will essentially be the amount available for use this summer. The major storage reservoirs for California are at roughly 50% of capacity with very little opportunity to increase.

Welcome back!!! :)  I missed you... please never go away! (really)

The planet has really been heating up since you've been gone... especially since the Global Warming Polar Vortex (the phenomenon formerly known as winter) went away.

Looks like you've got a pretty good El Nino shaping up so this year may prove to be a big one for the data molesters.

You are right... and that Breitbart piece is old news... what I would like to have your opinion on is about the massive adjustment fraud that the Berzerkly Earth Surface Temperature guys did to the South American temperature records.

Check out the before and after graphs of the adjustments made which were then incorporated back into GISS

And when I type in factcheck.org the first word that comes up is bias.

Anyway...

So Barry's boys at the NOAA say their adjusted data is good. Hmmm... I guess that's good enough for me.

Say... why do they never disclose the data or code they use for their climate models or the methodology behind their adjustments? That would really shut those pesky climate deniers up.

And why does the same NOAA want $262,000 just to get a peek at it's publicly funded data?

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/03/27/outrageous-noaa-demands-262000-fee...

ZerOhead, the article you linked was authored by Paul Homewood. The link provided by Zero Hero says:

"Berkeley Earth, a climate science nonprofit founded in early 2010 by scientists expressing skepticism at the time about global warming, has also found no undue manipulation of temperature data in its own analyses. Its page specifically on the Paraguayan Puerto Casado station that Homewood mentioned shows the adjusted readings do in fact show a rise in temperature over time."

 

Wrong fraud indeed. YOU are the silly fraud.

Sure, the data shows a gradual increase in temperature over time...

The problem occurs when you look at the data from 1950, AND SEE THAT THE GODDAMN TEMPERATURE IS THE SAME.

In other words, it isn't global warming. The planet has been this hot before, and it was totally fine. No one even noticed.

AR5 WG2 lists "more than 120 examples of impacts of climate change which can be attributed to climate change over six continents". I do not know if the Cali drought is on that list, but this clear statement was not possible in previous assessment reports.

@nmewn : high confidence in attribution to climate change; glaciers, snow, ice, and/or permafrost; rivers, lakes, floods and/or drought.

The answer to your question is "yes", at the second highest confidence level. Furthermore, they are classified as "major" relative contributions of climate change to the observed impact.

I asked two questions so I'm not sure what questions you are saying the answer is affirmative to. Regardless, the "climate" is always changing and apparently the term DESERT SOUTHWEST commonly used to describe this particular region of this country is going right over your head.

I can tell you with 100% confidence & certitude that the word desert means dry and the region being described is in the SW of the country and its been dry in that region well before there was even such a thing as the United States so that places the historical "dryness factor" of the region back more than two centuries ago.

In other words, well before trains, planes and automobiles ;-)

The only answer I can think of is that they were probably thinking the guy would be dead by the time they are done with him, negating any chance of revenge. So if there is going to be a lawsuit filed, the victim should sue them for attempting murder.

In the Old West there was this document that protected people's rights.

 

There was the presumption of innocense and that by a DUE PROCESS that people were either acquitted or convicted of crimes, after a fair trial by a jury of their peers. Then there were judges that presided over these criminal trials and they were the people responsible to pass sentence on the convicted. In fact there is a guarantee of that written in the Sixth Amendment to that document.

 

Yeah. It is called the US Constitution. But who follows that "God damned peiece of paper", as George W Bush described it, since he appointed himself as "the Great Decider"?

 

So now you PERSONALLY SUPPORT that Law Enforcement Officers act as Judge, Jury, and Executioner when there is no provision whatsoever for that written within the US Constitution. And you automatically presume that anybody running away from these maurading and murderous thugs guilty of some crime as GUILTY before they ever see a trial.

 

Do you want to see who the enemy of Liberty and Freedom is? Then take a good look in the mirror. It is you and people like you. And there are legions of you.

 

You are a pretender that you ascribe to the principles of Liberty and Freedom. You are a fraud. You expose yourself with your words.

Every American should be compiling a list of all the criminals and treasonous that they are aware of. Crimes should include Article 3, Section 3 treason, corruption, murder, kidnapping, crimes against humanity, war crimes, etc. The criminals' names, titles, crime specifics, etc. should be kept. These lists can then be used after the American country has been Restored to root out these criminal elements and bring them to trial and Retribution.

In Fairfax, VA, a Different, No-Less-Scary Police Shooting
18 months ago John Geer was shot by police while standing at his front door with his hands raised
By Neil Macdonald, CBC News Posted: February 18, 2015

But Geer pointed to one nearby officer in particular: Adam Torres, who kept raising his Sig Sauer pistol from the "ready" position (pointed at Geer's legs) to aim at Geer's chest.

Please ask him not to point his gun at me, Geer begged Barnes. Geer even offered to come out and be handcuffed voluntarily if Torres and the other patrolmen would agree to move "way back."

Then he asked to scratch his nose again. Barnes consented. And Torres fired.

White Teen Killed by Black Cop in Alabama Mirrors Ferguson By Valerie Richardson, Washington Times, November 27, 2014

Gilbert Collar, a white, unarmed 18-year-old under the influence of drugs was shot and killed Oct. 6, 2012, by Officer Trevis Austin, who is black, in Mobile, Alabama. Despite public pressure for an indictment, a Mobile County grand jury refused to bring charges against Officer Austin, concluding that the officer acted in self-defense.

Critics also note there has been no rioting or sustained protest in Mobile, even though the slightly built Collar, unlike Brown, never touched the officer and, because he was naked when he was shot, was more obviously unarmed.

Both shooting victims were found with marijuana in their systems.

"There's riots for #MikeBrown but none for #GilCollar," said one commenter, @samstuff, in a Wednesday post on Twitter.

"Nobody burnt buildings to the ground for them," said commenter Gomer Pyle on Twitter, referring to Collar and Dillon Taylor, a white 20-year-old shot Aug. 11 by a minority police officer in Utah. "You never even heard of them until now."

Look at this...sealions that cant see and are starving bite peoples hands stealing fish off boats.

This is the 3rd sea lion bite this season according to one dock I launch at.

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Sea-Lion-Bites-Man-Pulls-Him-Under...

 

I have personally had to kick a sea lion off a boat. We were almost attacked another time when a sea lion jumped on the swim deck after a fish tail hanging over the back of the boat. I kicked that 600 lb fucker in the face. If it could see it would have bit my foot. If it could see it would be nowhere near my foot. It would be eating one of millions of baitfish right outside the jetty.

LOP,

 

After spending nearly 200 hours fishing off the coast this year...its personal observation.

You throw them a fish and they cant even catch them anymore. They are jumping on boats stealing fish off the boats....they never used to do this in the past.

 

A quick search of starving sealions will confirm this. The 9 fat yellowtail that I have caught this year, the millions of mackerel and common sense tell me this isnt a food issue..its a sight issue.

 

And I have a geiger meter and no the local yellowtail do not have radiation in them.

Yes they are. Tons of bait fish...and they are starving. Mix in that they are missing dead bait in front of their noses..and its a logical conclusion. Another weird thing is I hooked a dolphin this year. Never before in my life....they never never bite hooks. They might have compromised sight too.

 

The seals follow big things they can see...like boats, 20 lb + yellowtail on your boat....and are following peoples voices.

 

Sounds like sight to me.

Conscious,

 

A symptom of starvation is lack of sight. Something about the body eating the optic nerve as a final nutrient source. Its not radiation in local fish....it may be a bio accumulation from many local fish. It is something and it is sad. I also saw larger humpback whales dead at sea within 3 miles of the coast...2 this season. I have seen 1 in the last 15 years.

Whether its dumping of water with pesticides, hormones and antibiotics- or radiation, aluminum dioxide or waste from Tijuana...... it is happening.

Those who have actually read the countless Ag21 papers and documents might logically infer they are happily monitoring the death of the oceans through various means - namely to prove average Joe is the cause and must be banned by any means.

Oh btw, Fonz bugger off, I bought all the documents from the UN and read them to educate myself. Then I bought and read the ICLEI documents & their website papers, its pretty obvious and blunt if you can cope with 1000+ hours of reading.

With the current fracking glut, you would expect that California would ban, or at least heavily restrict, water usage for frackers at this time.  Then there are all the green golf courses and water features in the SoCal dessert. I don't know about those golf courses.  However, the frackers don't appear to be subject to any restrictions.  I am certain they are heavily lining the political campaign coffers of Sacramento politicians.  It certainly seems to have paid off for them.
