Housing rights advocates say L.A. renters still need to take one additional step to make sure they’re covered by the city’s new eviction protection for pandemic pet owners.from eviction if they adopted a pet during the pandemic that violated the terms of their lease. The decision brought a sigh of relief to Angelenos who added furry friends to their homes during the city’s COVID-19 emergency period — and todreading a wave of surrendered pets after the expiration of L.A.
“Otherwise, it's a ‘he said, she said,’” Beltran said. “And unfortunately, court systems most of the time will believe landlords over tenants in those situations if they don’t have any documentary proof.”Before sending this letter, tenants should keep a few things in mind. The city’s eviction protection covers pets adopted during the pandemic, in violation of lease terms, for as long as those pets live. But the clock is ticking for tenants to inform their landlords about these pets.The city council required tenants to send this notice within 30 days of the ordinance taking effect. That puts the deadline at March 5, 2024.

Yet perfect fake fluff like Folts’ poses a climate conundrum. On one hand, making snow requires enormous amounts of energy, which creates planet-warming emissions. On the other, a warming planet means that artificial snow is increasingly essential to an industry that, while admittedly a luxury, pumps over.
But Bill Cairns, Bromley’s president and general manager, says the system is actually much more efficient than it was just a decade ago. “I used to spend about $800,000,” he says. He’s now able to produce more snow for around half the price. “The reduction in cost with snowmaking has totally been a game changer.”Powder days start with specks of dust high in the atmosphere. As they fall, water droplets attach to them, forming snowflakes.
“An old-school hog might use 800 cubic feet per minute . This one here uses about 70,” Folts says, pointing toward a tower gun from the early 2000s that stands about 15 feet tall and, unlike the ground guns on Blue Ribbon, can’t be easily moved. Up the hill sits a newer model that can get by on closer to 40 cubic feet per minute, or CFM, and a bit farther down the slope is the resort’s latest tool, which under ideal conditions can use as little as 10.
Standing next to the building that houses Bromley’s air compressors, Cairns points to a concrete slab with two manhole covers that once fed massive underground diesel tanks. “Underneath was fuel,” he says. To his right is a large pipe marked where the carbon-spewing generators used to connect to the rest of the snowmaking system. Now it’s cut off.Bromley is among the many snowmakers that have been able to eliminate, or drastically reduce, its dependence on diesel air compressors.
“You’re done sooner,” says Mack. Where it might take 100 man-hours to cover a trail, automation could cut that to 20 or 30. “It’s absolutely a savings. But it also gives you a little bit of reserve if you need it.” “Those guns don’t need any power,” says Folts, as he finished adjusting the position of one gun and moved to the next. “That’s kind of another next level.”Fires. Mudslides. Heat waves.
Such concerns are only likely to increase in a warming world. A warmer atmosphere and ocean mean an atmospheric river can pick up more water as it crosses the ocean before dumping water on land. The, a weather pattern that is characterized by warmer Pacific Ocean temperatures, also supercharged the atmospheric river that hit California this month.
“Nobody’s policing it,” said Mount. “There’s no mechanism to go in and threaten people and say, ‘If you don’t get flood insurance, we’re going to take your mortgage away from you.’” Turns out, this storm and the conditions surrounding it were so wildly complicated that weather models were having trouble settling on what was going to happen.
“There are fundamental limits to how well you can do it because the atmosphere is chaotic,” said Tapio Schneider, a professor at Caltech. “Chaotic means that what happens later is sensitively dependent on the initial condition, on the state right now. So there's a fundamental limit to how well you can predict the weather, something like two weeks or so, beyond which you cannot say in detail what weather will be like.
The more localized the projection, the more accurate the forecast, but the higher the computational cost. “Conservation of migratory species is extremely difficult because they cross nations, continents, even hemispheres,” Amanda Rodwald, director of the Center for Avian Population Studies at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, told Grist. “That requires a lot of coordination among different countries … and thinking across geopolitical boundaries.”
The rest of the region, including Los Angeles, could see up to 5 inches of rain at a much lower intensity — except for the Santa Monica Mountains and the Hollywood Hills."They could be pushing upwards of an inch per hour," Gomberg said.
