We had near record cold weather during February, March, and April, which shut down our typical rainy season three months early.
The primary cause of moderate drought in Seattle was a huge mass of much colder than normal Pacific Ocean water that extended from Vancouver Island all the way down to Baja California for almost six months.
That very cold ocean water was also the cause of record rainfall and snowfall in California.
In other words, winter and spring rainfall that usually hits Vancouver Island and Washington state moved 1000 miles to the south.

They are now combining hyped fear phrases in headlines
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

I enjoyed the nice weather we had last spring, but new that we would be hurting for water later on. I’m surprised that it is only now that we are having the water shortage notices. I thought the fires would be a lot worse too.
Time to get those outdoor projects wrapped up this weekend.
Kinda gettin’ a weather bomb on the right coast at the moment. Have ya seen the radar? Impressive.
The daughter was stationed at Lewis-McCord and we’d visit regularly (from NC). I remember one trip, several years back, it had rained 26-27 days in a row. Winter trips there...we were just chilled to the bone...a deep-down wet-feeling chill. Never expected to see drought in that area. Darn climate emergency.
Ya , well,
screw with the weather
( geo engineering chemtrails/harp)
you end up with screwy weather.
“bomb cyclone”
DRINK!🥃
I guess I’ve lived through 3-4 “tornado warning” events. Never worried as we’ve always had a full basement to retreat to. I can’t imagine building a house without one.
Cool, I covered my wood pile.
Good to go.
Bomb cyclone volcanic explosion hurricane atmospheric thunderous lightning atomic superstorm!
Rolling eyes to the back of my head. What’s next?
