Attachment 31137

The rainy season never came. Going to get worse before it gets better :(

Have our seasons changed a little with respect to time frame? I rains in the summer more often now.

Also doesn't most of our water reserves come from snow?

And there's no snow!

And people ask why I live in the PNW ;0)

Sun and warm year round is fun and all, but you need this bad. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/20/3ygyqy7a.jpg

Rain is of little help unless you get an over abundance of it. Too much run off and not enough captured. You need snow the melt slowly and runs down the naturally formed streams into rivers and lakes. It can pour in the low lands and we see zero benefit from it, straight to the ocean. It has to snow in the high lands above the rivers and lakes.

Yes, and because there is no snow (literally) there will be no runoff. No runoff means no streams, no rivers, and soon, no lakes. SoCal can syphon off the Colorado, but the spicot might be closed in the NoCal/Socal water system....

SoCal already does syphon more than it's share from the Colo.

The Upper Colo. Basin snowpack is at 97% now, wish it was at 197%

Which is why the mighty Colorado is nothing more than a meandering creek by the time it gets to Yuma. This year, it may dry up long before that point.

Yeah, the norcal folks will have it worse than us socal'ers this year unless there are mudslides and deluges in the near future.....not something we are very good at handling either.

Right on:thumbup:
Miracle March has shown itself more than once in the past. The media feeds hysteria like meat into a lions cage.....I'm shocked how gullible the general population still is in these modern overly informed times;):)
