The jet stream is really goofy right now. It's scooping up the cold air from Canada and pushing it into California. Take a look:

The arrows show which direction the jet stream wind is moving. The jet stream is wind that's miles high in the atmosphere. It pulls weather systems and storms along with it; meteorologists use jet stream data to predict which way a storm is heading.

Global warming. It hasn't snowed in NY this year, but it's snowing in Texas right now. Idaho is warm, Southern Cali is cold. It's all getting messed up.
