Typical RAT hysterics to shove it up the taxpayers rears.
“Those who would like to build new reservoirs and canals and to weaken environmental regulations have invoked the drought like a mantra in recent weeks.”
The LA Times just HAD to get that liberal dig in there, didn’t they?
Maybe the CA Legislature could fix it by just passing an 1100 page Bill that they don't read. It worked great in D.C. a couple of weeks ago, didn't it?
A heavy rain is beating against my window as I type this. This so-called drought is mostly hype. We should be back to normal in a few weeks.
The one that ended in 1991 was pretty bad. I was visiting a friend when it started raining; his 6-year-old daughter came out of her bedroom crying in terror wondering what was happening to the world. It was the first time she had ever heard a rainstorm in her life.
I have read that during the Middle Ages, the snow pack on the mountains , at least in the south, disappeared entirely. The cyclic nature of the world’s climate tells us that predicts for the future probably are beyond our science, now and perhaps forever.
Thats why we need nuke plants combined with desalination plants up and down the coast
The Sierra snowpack is fine this year. Lots of snow up there, I look at it every day.
Keep filling your swimming pools and then tell me you don’t have any water.
That said, Scotts Valley is offering some financial incentives to change your lawn to xeriscape. I may look into it.
I thought the San Gabriel mountains were blanketed with more snow than usual this winter. What the hell?
I watched the local CBS station (channel5) for another reason.
They showed the guy who measures the snowfall/snowpack and how he measures the snowpack. However I don’t think that he/they made any comments re the current snowpack.
Many of our streams in the North Bay have or are reaching flood stages with no place for the run offs besides over flowing.

How ‘bout not charging power customers to tear out the dams we already have!!!
