7-8 ft of snow in the Sierras

Well all that's for naught now as the people of Calif no longer get to vote on anything.

Every project has winners and losers when built and the people chose to not do anything that may or could change the existing natural environment. First hand info as I was there in the planning of the projects and trying to change events. Did in my own community on the local water irrigation district board but the state never was successful.

Also lived in South Tahoe winter '92-'93 when we had a winter with snow over the roofs of homes. My son cleared many a roof that winter and did will $.

Gotta keep the fish alive:R

Very true! When you talk about water rights, min stream level / water rights for the fish are FIRST / #1. Then the farmers before business & personal use. What I never totally agreed with was the water for the Steel Head in the Delta as they are not a native species. A LOT of water is wasted thu the Delta to keep the salt water level down because of the Steel Head.

No problem waiting out the weather, in S. Az, before getting back home again this year(and that would be April) . :)

Sorry, double post!

Gosh, wouldn't that be great! We are so far behind normal this year.

If only we had some place to hold the runoff...

If only gov moonbeam had carried thru his father's plans to build more reservoirs. Maybe last year when the state was awash with water.

MA could get more than a foot Friday afternoon !

Only in the higher elevations if we get anything at all. Looks like mostly cold, yucky rain. At least I don't have to shovel it! Looks the coast may get slammed, though. Some people are already evacuating.

just came back from flagstaff wensday they got 7inches tuesday night. you just never know about snow.
