I agree with you. Theres too much political power in drought monering. Id say this article is more lazy than dishonest though. The significant point is the percentage of California that it out of drought. The critical Vast Sierra watershed has been out of drought for two years. As magnificent as this season has been, out of 14 ski resorts, only one has exceeded the 2016-2016 accumulation, and that by only a couple inches. Two or three are close, and the rest arent especially close. We could struggle along with vast areas of the state under permanent drought conditions if we had this level of Sierra snowpack every year
2016-2017
Gotta love libs; first they constantly scream about droughts, then for 50 years they block and/or oppose the construction of every new dam or reservoir that would help us cope with one. No, they'd rather hire a thousand potty police to make sure a family of four only flushes its toilets once a day during any semblance of a drought.
