The climate alarmists' exaggerated claims in the past haven't helped their credibility at all.
They always scream "weather isn't climate!" unless the weather supports their side, in which case it's a snapshot of climate. In the spirit of fairness, I offer this snapshot of climate:
Update, 1/1/22: Broke over 200" this past week!With four days left to go in the month, Tahoe has already broken the record for December snowfall set 50 years ago.
On Monday, December snow totals at the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab reached 193.7 inches, blowing a 1970 record of 179 inches out of the water.
The lab, located at Donner Pass, has received roughly 39 inches of snow in the past 24 hours and could break the 200-inch mark today.

I read that a few Sierra dams are already releasing water as they are nearly at capacity already. It's going to be a rough and floody spring with all that snowpack piling up...
We're still not at 100% for the season; of course, we've got a couple more months to go till the end of the season.
What's really startling/funny/ridiculous is that most of our dams here in California are flood control dams, not water storage dams. What that means is that even if we're in a drought, we release water from the "reservoirs" behind the dams in case we get rains; if we get rain, the dams serve to keep the down-river areas from flooding. Then we release the water a bit at a time to keep the rivers flowing and the cities from flooding. Water storage? Nah, we don't do that here in the Peoples' Republik.
We went from flooding in November to wading through snow for Christmas. Supposed to get more rain followed by more snow this coming week.
