Nature don't do linear
Back in January when our winter had been typically cold but exceedingly dry, the idiot linear extrapolators were furrowing their idiot brows about the lack of snowpack. Now La Nina has returned to the mean, much more quickly than usual.
News:
That's Nature.
Always cycling, always balancing, always returning to the same point.
Rerunning an animation from a long time ago:
Here's a little quiz. What do you think will happen to the car at the end of this repeating clip?
(A) Do you think it will go Up like this?
(B) Do you think it will go Down like this?
If you chose Up (A), congratulations! You are either a six-week-old kitten or a Professional Climatologist!

News:
The winter season started out mild, but recently the weather has changed. There's been nearly a record amount of rainfall in the valleys during the month of March, but all that precipitation is coming down as snow in the mountains.
In late February, hydrologists with Avista Utilities took a snow survey in the Lolo National Forest. Their measurements showed snow levels to be at 110% the normal average for this time of year.
That's Nature.
Always cycling, always balancing, always returning to the same point.
