50
This is the warmest winter in 40 years, 50-60% snowpack, and we're the headwaters for a good chunk of US agriculture. All of the seasonal cycles are so off that nature thinks it's 2-3 months ahead or behind what it should be. The weather this month is normal for April. I was sipping my coffee this morning while looking at the drought-parched landscape and thinking about the impending catastrophic fire season. My phone sent me one of those stupid autogenerated photo collages. It's of how different winters were just a few years ago.

That's the scary thing. It alternates between extremes now. Two years ago it was our wettest spring in half a century, but following a huge drought and fire season so the ground wasn't capable of retaining that water. All it resulted in was landslides, flooding, and creating a huge overgrowth of plants that are now fire fuel.
