There will be plenty of water here in the midwest in the spring. Detroit had an all time record snowfall for January and February is off to a booming start as well. I’m about 70m miles west of there and just finished shoveling another 6 inches that fell last night.
Mark my words, by summer they’ll be attributing rising great lakes levels to global warming while ignoring a super soggy summer of 2013 followed by a super snowy winter of 2013/2014. The lakes also have considerable ice cover this winter which blocks evaporation as well.
I just checked the snow conditions in the resorts in mountains.
Most of resorts are over 70” of snow and March is usually when we get dumped on.
Copper Mtn got 34” in the last week.
Wolf Creek has over 100” of snow.
