My very Western property is experiencing water woes alright.... I have not been able to mow for nearly one week due to nearly continuous rainfall!That happened to us out East this summer.
The report doesn't indicate less precipitation; it may indicate more (hard to tell from the article). It indicates less snow, earlier spring melt, and higher snowlines. Because snowpack is where water is stored, that means a trend of less water in the western and Pac NW mountains.

Last year we skied until Memorial Day and could have gone on until the 4th of July if the resorts did not arbitrarily close. Gunning for a repeat this year. Sorry bud, once again, throwing chicken little onto my hot, smokin', CO2 wafting grill! Siiiiizzzzzzzzlllllllle.
