It doesn't look good for next winter !

Yeah, California will keep roasting, as will the southwest. There was a study done a decade or so back that predicted that when the Arctic started melting, the resulting changes in the atmosphere would cause intense droughts in California. It's certainly evocative looking at California now, and the southwest US has been in severe drought for a decade or more - also expected by many climate change researchers, at +1 degree C (which is basically where we are) the area is expected to start converting back into desert. And it's not going to get better at +2 and +3...

THANK YOU AL GORE!!!!!!
 
We were spared the widespread power outages last winter, but my generator will be ready. Since the great ice storm we've used it several times.

Some inexpensive pipe wrap saved me last winter. Plumbers had a good season in my area.
 
Yeah, over here all pipes are internal and thus don't freeze on modern homes.
