Daniel Swain for Yahoo News — Scientists issue ‘weather whiplash’ warning after observing dismal conditions: ‘Increasingly wide swings between drought and flood’

UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain discusses California’ recent weather conditions and ‘hydroclimate whiplash’ in a recent Yahoo News article. “In some places there is literally no measurable snow on the ground at all,” Swain said. “Even if we end up seeing wetter storm cycles later this winter, which I still think is likely, that doesn’t necessarily mean we are going to catch up to the average snowpack.”
