Picture showing how bad our drought really is...

Folsom Lake can hold over 1,000,000 acre feet. To put it into perspective for you SoCalers, surface area wise it's over five times the size of Castaic. It's about 10 miles from the dam to pastie cove. Here's a side by side picture of the lake how it normally looks and how it looked last week at 17% capacity. This supplies the drinking water to a good portion of the Sacramento Valley. Our boating season will be over before it begins unless we get some serious water.

Holy cow that is crazy low....

I guess we'll be boating at Tahoe or the Delta this year...

Most likely Tahoe....The Delta will be salt water now.

Our reservoirs here in Socal start like ponds and end up as slews. Time to relearn taking Navy Showers

Okay, but I already told Mrs.Daytona I'm not getting in the water

I already take Navy showers! But, I'm not getting in until the water gets hot. I know that's a waste but I just can't do it.

I hate Navy showers. But this is a serious issue. It's over 80 degrees in January and very little rain. Our Sierra's don't have enough snow to fill up our reservoirs. Get ready for water rationings in a city near you.

I want to go to Tahoe! It's so pretty up there but the lake is frigid.

That's crazy, that's one reason we moved to Florida, we love going to Vegas and knew we had to be around water so we could boat, but it had to a whole lot warmer than the Midwest, we looked in the Southwest, but everything I looked at scared me about the water, all the people I knew out there always told me about not being able to water their grass or wash their car, then I heard the stories about the lakes drying up, that was it, Florida it was and never have regretted it, I hope you guys get lots of rain for the next ten years, I'm thinking you're going to need it.
