So, maybe all the little islands and nooks on overpasses shouldn't be irrigated and landscaped? Weird, it always seemed like such a good use of resources. And it rained up here on Saturday. :)

we do know it was wetter, then much drier. Evidence such as seeds and plant types found at various sites and other archaeological proofs are what created the theory as to why they all bailed.

Sure, it could be "Aliens!" or really bad neighbors, but the coincidence between their earliest artifacts being in much wetter times and near the end, much drier makes the theory credible at least.

It's a matter of perspective. Is California "getting drier" or simply returning to "normal" after a century of "wetter than normal" rainfall? It's a strong possibility that the gringos and "manifest destiny" simply arrived at an unusually wet "moment" in geological history.

Tough call, on "normal" we have had both extremes, when enough history is looked at. Gringos Did, with the wet they walked in on, turn a desert into an Ag valley, with irrigation.

Gotta say my solar panels are happy happy.

Water can still be wasted. The closed system is worldwide. But locally it's a finite resource at times. And there are certainly wasteful uses of the water we have stored.


We should treat water as a lot more precious of a resource than we do at times like this.

2006 was exactly the last time I remember that there was a lot of rain. Like 2 months straight around Feb, if not 3 months. Then of course it stopped as usual until Nov 2006.

yadda yadda yeah I know 2-3 winters ago there was a lot of snowfall. not as much evident rain as 2006 though.

Nick, I don't see the option, "Whatever, global warming is a conspiracy!!!"



that's pretty scary indeed..

If I recall Treasure Island flooded that year in the central part.
 
No. I am selling my ladders, throwing my guitar and bicycle in a van, and moving to minnesota, and start grooving on snowmobiles.:thumbup.
 
Opensnow.org is saying a trough is moving in Tuesday that should clear the way for a few systems to reach Northern California. Predicting some rain Thursday and again on Sunday.

I am a bit of a weather nerd just because I get anxiety over the droughts and floods (I come from an ag family).

Seeing the familiar white swirl of clouds (like a giant comma) moving over our Bay Area (on the broadcast news weathemaps), which means that the Pacific High has been pushed southward and shrunk certainly made my day yesterday. It could rain a little or buckets, but bottom line is more snow at the Sierra ridgeline and all the good from the runoff. It doesnt take much clouds to make some snow up that way.

Even last Friday morning, I smelled that slight scent of rain smell and looked up and saw some thin clouds and realized how rare that had become lately. I felt like a horse in the desert that smells a well 30 miles away....

My fingers are crossed and then some.

Just remember that they will make snow somewhere and be happy.
 
No. It will never rain in California again. anyone who hasn't lived here for 40 years should clear out quick before things get really bad.:afm199
 
I grew up in a part of Washington where it never rained :laughing
