California Drought

[NoTrespassing]

Yep, but here in NorCal at least, they're not expected to bring much in the way of rain. A few hundredths at best. And most of next week will be dry and sunny.:cool2:

Lord knows we could use a break...

Even though we consider ourselves technically advanced we always seem to be able to underestimate the capabilities of mother nature. The experts know that we've had very wet years in the past but for some reason they don't think it will happen again? Imagine what will happen if the trend continues through April.

The Don Pedro dam on the Tuolumne River is another balancing act the next several months.

I've seen things on the net that show some people think there will never be another drought.

Two things I've gleaned from this thread.

You can't fix stupid & Haters gonna hate. Choose your poison.

I'd add an unhealthy dose of ignorance and bigotry to that list. My "ignore" list is growing because of it.

It seems the trolls from 'Friendly' Politics have found this thread.

Unfortunately there are some who seem to have a goal of getting all California threads pushed over to FP.

I love what I've seen of California but dislike the politics so I don't live there but find no reason to insult people who do.

Thanks for your voice of reason and civility.


So much for this Saturday 'storm'. I worked in the orchard all day, got some very light sprinkles that ended before I decided to stop work. Now 9pm, clear skies and the stars are out.

Forecast for tomorrow, Sunday - similar. Forecast is clear sky then estimated 50% sky cover starting late afternoon and possible .04" rain late afternoon through overnight.

Thank you. There are a h#ll of a lot of us here who also dislike the politics. Wish it was different. I never see it changing. I am retired but can't move as other family members have their jobs here, and I choose to remain near them.
