Last year up at Echo Lake (near Tahoe) there was 18 feet of snow.
Up there a month or so ago and there was only a few feet.
Water in the Central Valley for crops may be a problem.

Here in upstate NY we didn't even have a real winter this year. And then we had over a week in the 70s and 80s for highs. Stuff is blooming and budding over a month earlier than usual.
I can't help but enjoy the warm weather here and lack of winter, but I pity those folks living in more climate-sensitive areas. For you CA folks it means less fresh water stored in the sierra snowpack. And probably more summer wildfires too.
