@EricBono @ianjames “WX” means weather, “CA” means “California” So CAwx is just short hand for “California Weather Updates”. People can follow the Hash tag #CAwx to find NWS updates and local weather posts. Each US state/US territory has a weather hashtag. Because I handle so few of Canada weather posts I “promote” them to #CanadaWx unless a weather person tells what the area’s using.

FYI @ai6yr

"The lack of snow is not necessarily surprising given the presence of El Niño, with Farnell having forecast last month that nearly the entire country would see milder weather through much of December... But with the much warmer December than normally seen, there may be questions of how much of an impact comes from El Niño or other factors.

“It was so extreme, though, that you question whether it’s all El Niño or if maybe climate change is playing a role"
