It’s quite unexpected weather for the region— though of course what’s seriously abnormal in one place might be old normal hat for another. The dumb example here is “Oh, snow in the sahara? Well, here in Alaska we get snow all the time so what’s the big deal!”

For me the chief concerning thing is the “literally dozens of new fires” around the area.

This is true. I was confused at first, but I can imagine how it would be jarring to locals. Let’s hope the fires don’t get out of control.

I live in the south east, I remember a few years ago we were in a serious drought, and we experienced a run of widespread wildfires. For weeks on end there was a visible ‘fog’ in the air from the smoke. Very strange.

In the realm of Apocalypse 2020, yesterday (Saturday) northern California had a fire tornado.
