Daniel Swain for ABC7 News — This winter looking warmer than average – and that means less snowpack

UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain discusses California’s warmest December in more than 60 years for ABC7. “We would have to be 10-15% colder and have it last a month or so to truly balance it out. If you look at what’s happened so far in this cool season from October through the beginning of January, almost all of that time has been well above average temperatures to near record warmth,” Swain said.
