(CNN)After months of extreme drought that triggered water shortages and stoked wildfires, heavy snow is falling in the Sierra Nevada -- enough to break decades-old records.
As of Tuesday, more than 202 inches of snow -- nearly 17 feet (5.2 meters) -- had fallen so far this month at the University of California, Berkeley's Central Sierra Snow Laboratory, at Donner Pass east of Sacramento.
Scientists at the lab said this month is now the snowiest December on record for the location and the third snowiest month overall. The top month was January 2017 when 238 inches (6 meters) fell, and it's not likely enough snow will fall in the next three days to challenge that record. Records here go back to 1970.
Lab officials said the snow was "deep and hard to get through," and it took them roughly 40 minutes to get to where the measurements are taken just 150 feet away from the lab's front door.

Someone should bury her in 17 feet of snow.

She's just a kid who wouldn't know her arse from her elbow.

The ability to start a global movement -  aka "Fridays For Future" - would suggest otherwise.  Not to mention gaining speaking engagements at the UN.

I'm guessing you think the IPCC AGW climate science is nonsense?

I prefer the kids who start their own non-profits or charities. At least they are useful. Greta is merely "famous" for her loud words. Scaring kids on that scale is mental abuse. And you blame AGW rather than AGW scare campaigns for kids failing mental health.

That takes brains? Plenty of politicians get to do that; and they aren't known for brain power generally.

Which climate science? The one that believe it negligible. The one that believes it beneficial? Or the one that believes it catastrophic? All are represented.

So please show what SHE knows about climate science.

And you have shown you know nothing. You quoted Edward Teller. I responded and then you lamely said you believed the IPCC. The same IPCC that says the Summary for Policy Makers is supreme to the science.

So now the "science" is refutable.
