Who knows?From the expert climate scientist:
The National Weather Service isn’t holding much hope for drought-busting conditions this winter, especially in Southern California:
- Drought will probably persist through the winter in many regions currently experiencing drought, including much of California and the Southwest
“This forecast does not bode well for drought in the country, as we’ll likely see drought persist in central and southern California and the Southwest and potentially expand in the Southeast,” wrote NOAA long-range forecaster Mike Halpert. “Thus, the likely weak La Niña means California drought relief is not likely.”
- Drought improvement is anticipated in Northern California, the northern Rockies, the northern Plains and parts of the Ohio Valley.
California drought conditions have improved dramatically

The California drought, which had become increasingly severe over the past five years, is not over yet but the situation has improved dramatically in the past month. According to the U.S. drought monitor website, which was updated Thursday, there are no areas of exceptional drought left in the state.
This chart from the drought monitor website indicates that one year ago 64% of the state was considered to be under either extreme or exceptional drought conditions, the two highest categories. Now, largely thanks to the storms over the past month, that figure has dropped to 2 percent.
Here’s an image showing the state 3 months ago compared to last week:
In addition to the heavy rain that has refilled most of the state’s reservoirs, there has also been record snowfall in the mountains:

Former Trump aide says US will pull out of Paris climate deal within 'days'
One of President Trump’s former aides said Monday that the U.S. will pull out of the landmark Paris climate pact within the coming “days.”
Myron Ebell, who helped the Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency transition, told reporters that Trump was “determined” to undo Barack Obama’s climate change initiatives.
“I expect Donald Trump to be very assiduous in keeping his promises, despite all of the flack he is going to get from his opponents,” Ebell said, according to London's The Independent. “He could do it by executive order tomorrow, or he could wait and do it as part of a larger package. There are multiple ways and I have no idea of the timing.”
Ebell, a climate change skeptic, helped review the EPA’s work during the Trump transition.
The U.S. is one of 194 countries who signed the Paris climate agreement in April 2016. The pact aimed to “stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system."
Trump, who once stated that climate change was a hoax created by the Chinese, previously stated that he would keep an open mind on the climate deal.
Trump’s secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson, a former ExxonMobil executive, said during his confirmation hearing that the U.S. would be “better served by being at that table than leaving that table.” Ebell said Tillerson would lose the fight over leaving the Paris agreement.
“…the president was elected and Rex Tillerson was appointed by the president, so I would guess that the president would be the odds-on favorite to win any disagreement over climate policy."

Nostradamus predicted the downfall of the great white nation, and that what would be said was, "We won the presidency, yet lost the nation".
Nostradamus predictions are so 1974.

Sounds like the Obama years.
What do you hope he succeeds at? The economy, immigration, foreign policy? There is a lot to succeed at and thus a lot to fail at.
