Same with Snow Basin in Utah and Sierra Tahoe.
I mean, this is weeks early.
And the news isn't much better when you look at rivers.
According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor, every single river basin in the West has experienced its warmest or second warmest winter on record.
Now, some of coastal California was a bit of a bright spot.
They did get a lot of rain this winter, which I asked Brent Pasqua about.
He's a CAL FIRE battalion chief.
And he pointed out that the irony is that with all that rain, it gets lush and green and it turns to brittle in prolonged heat.
I mean, maybe.
But like, Aisha, like everything in the world right now, everything feels unpredictable.
I mean, climate scientists have started blaming this past warm winter out here on the rapidly melting oceans.
Arctic, which is causing the jet stream to swing away from us.
And then there's this huge blob of warm water out in the Pacific that's sending us these warm storms, at least when we get them.
Now, there are some exceptions, of course, in the West, but everyone is really worried about the Colorado River Basin.
The Federal Bureau of Reclamation is now predicting that the water levels in Lake Powell and Lake Mead along the river may drop so low that the turbines at the dams are going to stop even being able to produce power like later this year.
It's called Deadpool.
It's a very grim term, but apt.
Totally.
I mean, the Colorado River alone supplies drinking water to like 40 million people, also countless farms that grow all the produce we eat, especially in the winter in the Imperial Valley of California.
