Blob Attacks California - Yazata - Apr 12, 2015
It seems that a high temperature anomaly in the North Pacific centered west of Oregon, nicknamed "the blob" by scientists, might be what's behind the unusual weather this last winter, particularly California's drought and the unusually cold and snowy weather in the East.

I'd wonder if the Hunga Tonga Volcano was responsible for increasing ocean temperatures and precipitation to create the "blob".

From Link:
"When spring of 2014 rolled in, the blob even became warmer – the hottest ever recorded for that area in that time of year.”
Either something is providing the heat, or Newton's Laws are in danger of nullification.
I hope that the deniers of man made global warming are proved right.
That's the only hope for the world. Altruism won't cut it.
If you could guarantee three generations of fabulous riches starting now, people would want it no matter what came afterwards.
