I'm not disagreeing at all, I'm just curious your source for "dry and cold winter". NOAA's Jan-Feb-Mar 2017 predictions for California show normal to warmer than normal temperature [0] and generally normal precipitation [1].

Huh, that's interesting. I should've checked NOAA, I know better.

Source was an interview with the woman running the Old Farmer's Almanac, aired on NPR a couple of weeks ago.

I'll take some time later today to see what the overall consensus looks like from more sources.

Old Farmer's Almanac! Come on man, they just make that stuff up. There are even studies about how useless they are.
