Damn — that was a heck of a passing thunderstorm

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Stay dry and safe

#california #caweather #norcal

Southern California enters drought after 8 months of negligible rain.

Current conditions:
• Moderate drought across key counties.
• Plants as dry as in October.

Forecasts offer little relief, raising wildfire risks.
It’s a dry start to the year. #ClimateCrisis #CAWeather

The idiotic plan to privatize weather data/forecasting in the US has been resurrected yet again.
If you care about the free, public availability of weather information in the US, contact your congresscritter today and vote accordingly in November.
