His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://themountainmessenger.org\">The Mountain Messenger\u003c/a> is California’s oldest running weekly newspaper — it’s been around since 1853 and Mark Twain was an early contributor. The newspaper has become a lifeline for people in Downieville, a remote community where local news about the coronavirus is hard to find.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downieville is a quaint historic town in a canyon, surrounded by forests. It’s at the confluence of the Downie River and the North Fork of the Yuba River. While Downieville’s legacy is gold mining, today it relies mostly on tourism for economic survival. The population is older, there’s no hospital for miles and the internet service is spotty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could also say that the “Mountain Messenger” himself is Carl Butz, the paper’s new owner, who stepped in to keep the presses running earlier this year when the former owner was ready to retire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butz is 71.

"content": "\u003cp class=\"p1\">After two dry months in a row, state water officials say California’s snowpack is at \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/snowapp/sweq.action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">46% of normal\u003c/a> for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">As usual, the\u003ca href=\"https://water.ca.gov/News/News-Releases/2020/January-2020-Snow-Survey\"> \u003cspan class=\"s1\">California Department of Water Resources\u003c/span>\u003c/a> on Thursday conducted the third monthly snow survey of 2020 at the Phillips Station snow course in the Sierra Nevada, south of Lake Tahoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The snow course is one of 260 stations that measure snowpack statewide. The data \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1936797/why-we-cant-stop-talking-about-californias-sierra-snowpack\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">help scientists\u003c/span>\u003c/a> determine how much water will run off during the spring and summer months to replenish California’s reservoirs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Sierra snowpack accounts for about one-third of California’s annual\u003ca href=\"https://sierranevada.ca.gov/ca-primary-watershed/\"> \u003cspan class=\"s1\">water supply\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">DWR’s Jan. 2 snow survey tracked the Sierra snowpack at close to average for the start of the year. By the end of January, the statewide percentage was down to 72%. At the end of one of the driest Februarys in state history, the snowpack is now below half of the historical average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 23.3% of the state is now in “moderate drought,” up from 9.5% last week. That’s according to the \u003ca href=\"https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Drought Monitor\u003c/a>, a weekly report issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">DWR spokesman Chris Orrock says the dry winter is in stark contrast to last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">“In February of 2019, it was probably one of the wettest Februarys we’ve ever had. Some areas of the Sierra accumulated up to 50 feet of snow,” Orrock said. “This year in the majority of the Central Valley and Northern California we had little to no measurable precipitation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">But thanks in part to a snowy and cold 2019 in California’s mountains, Orrock says the state’s reservoirs still have plenty of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">“They’re all at or near those averages that they would be at this time of year anyhow because of that good snowpack we had last year,” Orrock said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">California typically receives about half of its annual precipitation in the months of December, January and February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snowpack is an important insurance policy to protect against wildfire, says John Abatzoglou, a climatologist at University of California, Merced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Snow melt provides a sustained, gradual source of moisture and keeps those forested areas wet later into the spring and early summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A subpar snowpack year sets the stage for an early start to fire season, Abatzoglou says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“California certainly has seen longer fire seasons, lasting both later in the fall and starting early in the spring,” he said. “And unfortunately, the lack of precipitation across the state — we’ve basically struck out during the two wettest months of the year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Cal Fire, the state agency responsible for fire prevention in California, says that the current dry and windy conditions have already contributed to wildfires, which is usual for wintertime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orrock says water officials are now hoping for a repeat of the 2018 wet season, when a series of March storms replenished the snowpack in time for the spring runoff.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And the good news — good, if you're thinking about our longer-term water needs and not traveling over the coming weekend — is that forecasts show the wet weather resuming this weekend and continuing into next week. A few specifics about what just passed and what's to come:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A \"bomb cyclone\" that broke records:\u003c/strong> The National Weather Service says the storm that dove into California Tuesday had the lowest atmospheric pressure ever recorded in the state: 28.69 inches, or 973.4 millibars, as recorded at Crescent City, on the coast near the Oregon border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those extremely low numbers were the product of \"explosive cyclogenesis,\" also often referred to as \"bombogenesis\" — a process in which a low pressure area or storm center intensifies very rapidly. The effect is what's called a tight pressure gradient, or an abrupt change in pressure between areas that are relatively close together. And the result is an increased potential for very strong winds and other intense storm conditions, such as periods of heavy precipitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What did it look like in Crescent City, where the \"bomb cyclone\" was at its most intense? Take a look:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KMPHFOX26/status/1199569456097218560\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here's a view of what was happening in the atmosphere as that mess on the ground transpired:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/StuOstro/status/1199727351266983939\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Storm arrived early, rained hard, moved through quickly:\u003c/strong> Most forecasts called for the Tuesday storm to reach the area around San Francisco and Oakland about 6 p.m. But umbrellas began sprouting up by midafternoon as a cold front approached. The front moved through the city just after 6 p.m., triggering brief but impressive downpours that caused widespread roadway flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar scenario occurred throughout the region, with the steady rain that had preceded the front turning into short-lived cloudbursts, then giving way to clearing skies and occasional showers — which are expected to continue into early Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the height of the storm as captured by KQED's Miranda Leitsinger in Mountain View:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/mimileitsinger/status/1199534534343086081\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highest 24-hour rain totals in the region as of 1 p.m. Wednesday were spread across western Marin County, where Mill Valley has recorded 2.05 inches, and the Santa Cruz Mountains, where Scott Creek reported 1.97 inches.
