They're gonna keep us in crisis mode from now on regardless of how much water gets dumped in the state.

Once they have the control they'll never let it go.

The same old story from “da weather experts”. They can’t get the next day’s weather right and we’re supposed to listen to them.

They keep mentioning rain, but it snow in the Sierra that really fills California’s reservoirs.

Yea, but it will take a year and you know weather predictors, they’re wrong more often than not and predicting El Niño is not like predicting a monsoon.

California could get a drenching of such biblical proportions that the topsoil of the entire state could slide into the Pacific, and the California Government would still be warning everyone that “recent weather conditions have in no way lessened the severity of our current drought.”

Will another year of drought force the loons under the dome to finally approve more dams?

If it does I’m willing to suffer through another year or 2 of drought. The lefty loons need to feel the pain of killing all prospective dams since the early 70’s.

Ever since the 1970’s, when the rains came after a long drought, the “experts” always said that the rain wouldn’t alleviate the drought. This sort of talk only stopped when flooding began.

Yeah. Rain runs off and really doesn’t help all that much. Snow is always the answer

No news like bad news. Shut up and let the weather play out naturally. The dinosaur media needs a reason to be alive, always the wrong one.

Basically, the precipitation forecast models indicate the rain will be limited to southern ca. Northern ca will see normal to below normal rain due to a high pressure system forecast to remain in place in the pacific northwest. considering that for example Folsom Lake is at 25% capacity, even a normal year precip isn’t looking good.

Exactly right. If it doesn’t rain enough, it’ll be too much. They want working Americans on half-rations from here on. This administration is bound and determined to take this country back to 1966—in the Soviet Union.
