So Much for Rain!

Mar. 28, 2022

Weather forecasts are useless when they have to add 10-15 degrees to the temperature and hide relevant information. They actually admitted to precipitation today, however I’m sure commuters were not too pleased when they saw the expected rain was several inches of snow instead. Where was the winter weather advisory? A wind warning is in effect, but there is no wind at all today, just tons of snow. 

I had to look up news stories aside from the weather media to find more information, plus just looking outside and using my own eyes and brain. I managed to dig up the winter weather advisory that I couldn’t even find on our local National Weather Service site! I found it in a terrible LA Times article I can’t even dignify with a link, since it has too many outright lies about the “drought” in California. Can you believe I had to find this in the SAN DIEGO Weather Service site?! This is 4 hours south of here and mentions our region. It is totally hidden in a different region’s site so that anyone who lives up here and uses the local Hanford Weather Service site can’t even find out about our own weather!

At 10am, we have about 4 inches of snow already, and there is no sign of it stopping anytime soon. The forecast initially called for an inch of rain today, which is very high for this arid mountain region. They always downplay precipitation amounts, so if they said this much, I knew it will be heavy. 

The  precipitation forecast for today shows that our area in fact will be receiving 2 inches of rain, which translates to 20 inches of snow. This is a lot of snow for March! But rain at this time of year is common, especially since 2014 when we started gifting orgonite, and I do expect much more on the way. Usually there is a lot of snow in early winter, a lull in Jan. or Feb. and a resurgence in March. This March has already been prolific.

Since the weather forecasts are utterly useless now, I have not been including them most days. Today I just included it to show the difference between reality and the manufactured reality of news media… 44 degrees and raining?!

I will go outside and get some proper photos when (and if) there is a break in the snow. It has been snowing very heavily all morning and I had to do my best from indoors.
