Lake Shasta's months-long decline has started to level off thanks to several rainstorms that soaked northern California this month.
The lake, which is California's largest reservoir, reached nearly 100 percent capacity in May after its water levels were in a dire state since 2019 due to a prolonged drought in the state.
Levels leapt 60 feet in January as an abnormally wet winter accompanied by more than a dozen atmospheric rivers soaked the Golden State, and the levels continued to rise until they reached 1,064 feet in late May, just 3 feet short of full pool. The levels have steadily been declining since then, but a slew of December rainstorms have slightly improved them, according to a chart by lakesonline.com.

They will dump the water to improve the habitat of some snail.
Unfortunately, you are probably correct. Thank to the Demonrats!
You can never win with libs on climate change. They can never be wrong.
When will voters awake from their deep coma and realize they have been electing dimwits to represent them? Not holding my breath.

Good one.
The same happened in early 1993. After a years-long drought, Lake Shasta refilled in one wet season.
I stole it from Pookie fair and square...
Seems like it happened in the mid-70s also. Seems like some kind of a pattern!
It repeats about every 11 years. Strangely enough, the sun’s sunspot cycle is about 11 years, too.
I lived in CA 50 years starting in ‘73. I’ve seen the cycle repeat many times.
All the people wailing about “worst drought in 10,000 years” haven’t even lived in the state long enough to have seen a single full cycle.
The spring water coming out of Mt Shasta that make the Sacramento River is the best water I have ever drank at the source.
Hetch Hetchy that feeds San Francisco their water is 2nd.
I put a lot of Pookie’s stuff out on other sites...it’s like a meme goldmine that needs to be shared.
