Maybe some precip in norcal/Nevada over the next several days. Significant? Maybe, maybe not. I know Lake Tahoe is sorely lacking for the white stuff currently.

People are starting to worry about floods once things start to melt.

Weather isn’t climate... unless its hot or dry. If it’s cold, it’s just a random event.

If it’s not global warming that it can only be one other thing. Sarah Palin.

“So,” McDonough concluded, “we’ll be looking at that.”

Not good enough. I demand immediate action! The federal government should outlaw drought right now. If Congress won't take action then Dear Leader needs to do it by Executive Order. I'm going to have Sheila Jackson Lee write the necessary documentation.

While not mentioned, they seem to forget that much of California is a natural desert. It has been argued that man changed much of that desert into lush farmland through technology and massive irrigation. Man actually brought water into the desert regions. This brought the needed humidity to be absorbed into the atmosphere that would also provide rain in the otherwise very dry regions that were formerly farmland. The wackos that stopped all that irrigation may have actually employed a real life “butterfly effect” by letting nature reclaim itself... return to a desert climate. I’m not suggesting that this is the sole reason for the drought. But it does have some logical basis.

The activist group Climate Resolve, which describes its role as “inspiring people at home, at work and in government to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and prepare for climate impacts,” explained in January that this drought not only resembles a similar period of aridity that lasted from 1976 and 1977 but in fact echoes patterns that existed “well before society started burning coal for energy.” “Go back a few hundred years,” executive director Jonathan Parfrey maintains, and “the paleo-record shows that the Southwest experienced multi-decadal droughts.” The group’s inconvenient conclusion? “California’s terrible drought is not due to anthropogenic climate change.”

I thought that this was the case for the claims of AGW believers to claim that "extreme" events were the result of AGW, whether hot or cold. I wonder if a serious study has been done of "extreme events" I suspect such a study would blow their claims out of the water.

How about some “policy change” from this people hating administation?

Screw the little fish they’re pretending to protect in California, and close the EPA.

Put people and agriculture ahead of their damn population control agenda.

Well, we up here in Washington State have plenty of fresh, pure, crystal clear water that we would be willing to part with.

Provided it is at the same price of oil. I know, perhaps California can build a high-speed rail to ship it.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Progressive Socialist Democrat Party has now assumed the cloak of nuevo -witch-doctorism as a means of “explaining” and pretending like they can affect the weather (Climiatism) in order to control the ignorant peasantry. This is nothing more than reversion to ancient tribal practices of aboriginal peoples.

Legalizing gay marriage did it. Seriously, check the dates.

Californians would rather save some endangered species of fish than divert much needed water to drought stricken farmers so you can’t feel too sorry for them. Elections have consequences. Another brilliant move by the EPA putting animals over people.
