Oh this is going to be bad for us in the mid-west. Colorado took such a beating last year, I can only hope our Mtn snowpack will help us out. We need more rain!

Thanks.

Ebuck fyi!

We were getting fairly dry in N. Kali until last night's frog drowner that came through. I had reset the timers for our drip irrigation system to 3 times per week.

Weather much too warm in Denver, much too early. Already considering water restrictions. Good luck!

I could see the fire from my house. Lots of smoke. Just about out now. They say it was started by a smoke canister dropped by The Golden Knights. Just an accident.

Thanks for the ping...

G'Pa, I saw that the weather in your area was getting pretty rough. How much rain did you get? And can you send some south, priority mail would be fine, water is only what 8.3 lbs per gallon...and they need around 4 billion gallons down in AZ so can you foot the shipping???? I could help out with probably 10 bucks!!

They have a couple of lakes of ice in Michigan. Perhaps we can trade them some warm weather for ice?

I have heard from 3 to 5 inches.

My raingauge got broken in the December Monsoons we had before Christmas. The poor spring just snapped for the weight of the water.

Yeah, the global warming is really hitting the Great Lakes Area this winter.

You saw that Bliz is more concerned about the damage from Global Warming than the WMDs that Soddomite has?

The federal government likes to play God, I'm sure they can figure something out. It will have all the efficiency of the Postal Service.
