We had a deluge last summer. Most monsoons and rainfall I’ve seen in AZ since about 2005.
Thought it was Indiana. I could use some Ridges sour cream flavored ones. We still have some snow in the shade that fell over Christmas. And, we’re out west.
I’ve lived in Northern California since the Summer of 1973, just shy of 50 years. Those maps look like the normal year-to-year variability we’ve had the past 50 years. We’ve had a lot of years where we get hit with gushers in November, December, and/or January, then the spigot shuts off. We’ve had years where it continued to rain for a few months. We’ve had a lot of years where we get hit with 2, 3 or 4 monster storms in the winter, then nothing. The only thing predictable about western rain and snowfall is how unpredictable and inconstant it is.
In the last 1200 years. What about before then? Something I recall seeing somewhere there was an ocean in the west long ago too. Climate changes, always.
It’s not global warming. It’s a persistent eastern pacific high pressure system that’s blocking rain bearing storms. Maybe the authorities should pray for rain or do a rain dance.
This is a *man-made” drought. California bureaucrats, politicians and tree-huggers are responsible for this by deliberately destroying hundreds of reservoirs built between the 1890s and 1960s. They did this in the name of conservation. California is no stranger to dry spells which is why the state but so many reservoirs to begin with. As it stands now, most of the rainfall and snow melt simply runs off and into the ocean.
Idiots.
Hey, have them measure the water usage of 20 million illegals and a million HB1 workers....
That burst of reality might dampen their masks.
GOD bless America and Texas!
And we survived before and will again. Geez...Another mountain out of a mole hill.
Yes, there’s a huge facility being built off Loop 303.
These experts are brilliant—they correlated their data from seances with folks that died 1200 years ago....
Science, yo!
marked ,thanks
1200 years of rainfall data! Just goes to show you rain gauges last over 1200 years. Dont throw your rain gauges in the trash Recycle them, if your local landfill or community doesn’t have a special “ rain gauge “ recycle bin, write your local sanitation dept and demand one!! /S for those with no sense of humor.
and the reason 1200 years ago was... wut?

Didn’t we just have a pandemic where authorities initially repeatedly suggested that everybody wash their hands often?
California has been in a ‘wet period’ for the last 1200 years. Prior droughts would last for up to 240 years

If only libtards had been around 1200 years ago they could have prevented that disaster too 🤪
I wonder where they found the Viking and Mayan weather/climate records to compare their maps against?
Maybe Utah can cut off the NSA’s facility that uses up to 1.8 million gallons of water a day. Just to keep their spy servers cool!
