BS alert. There are no “la nina conditions” present today. The ENSO meter is at exact neutral. There is drought because the west is mostly semiarid to arid land and various degrees of drought conditions are normal.
Yes true that....but media and internet folks like the country in panic mode.
That may be the case, but Lake Oroville, which is a stone’s throw from where I sit is about 50% of normal capacity at this time of year. We ship water to SoCal so they can water their lawns or whatever....anyway...looks like very little water for the southland.
