7-8 ft of snow in the Sierras

Link

It's late but maybe they'll get more before the snow season is over. Bad news for travelers in the area tho,
  • No problem waiting out the weather, in S. Az, before getting back home again this year(and that would be April) . :)

    Voters of California voted down many water projects during the 80s when I worked for the Dept of Water Resources. Much of the blame belongs to the people of California themselves! 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 $.

    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.

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