Many, many moons ago, we were done with a great Tahoe ski trip, and the snow just kept on comin’. The regular, main roads heading West, Hwy 50 and 80, were closed due to multiple avalanches. Before they closed both roads, we had driven far enough West that turning around did not make sense. We found a small tavern still open, and waited there. There were many others in the tavern in the same state. Eventually, CalTrans snowplowed the old Hwy 50 road, and the Highway Patrol escorted groups of cars over the summit. It took 11 hours to get home. Back then, EVERYONE thought the next Ice Age was just around the bend. Two weeks ago, the Kalifornia Sierra snowpack was at 250% of normal, but they will still flush most of the snowmelt out to the ocean, and maintain the ‘drought’ due to not enough water.
Right, we're too busy building choo choo trains to nowhere. But even if this stupid state try to build more dams, the econazis would fight endlessly to make it unfeasible. They don't want sound water policy. They want depopulation.
