I’m reading that there will be snow for at least another week or two.
That there will be enough to completely fill California’s reservoirs this year.
If this is the heaviest snow you’ve seen since you were a kid there—then the filling of the reservoirs seems plausibile. A bunch of decades ago California was much wetter.
all california’s reservoirs should fill up completely this year.
I’m reading that the snow will continue for the next week or two. that that should be enough to fill the reservoirs in california.
Lake Meade and Lake Powell on the colorado are a different story.
It would take a couple winters like this year to fill them up.
I grew up in South Lake. My while life it has been the same cycle. But now there is money to be had claiming the normal seasonal cycles are “catastrophic global climate catastrophe and the only thing that can save us is a powerful government and subsidies to huge corporation.”
I remember winters leaving the house from the second story balcony for weeks at a time.
Absolutely. I’m a bit of a weather geek and check the reservoirs every day at this site

Amazing. I still have the tire chains my Father had to buy when he drove thru there many years ago. They apparently sold them at some sort of chain “stand” or something and people had to put them on or turn around.
