California’s Huge Storm Could Cause Disastrous Melting in the Mountains
from Science, Spoken · host WIRED
California is having a notably wet winter. Since October, a succession of weather systems has greened the Golden State’s valleys, whitened its mountains, and washed its rivers and reservoirs in rippling blue-green. The state is currently between storms. The one that just ended was cold. It dropped snow as low as 2,500 feet in California’s highlands. The successor storm, expected to hit on Saturday, will be warmer—forecasters are calling for snow levels to rise up to 9,000 feet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
