👏🏼Well playedSo in other words they’ll end up with about 2 feet
Now this is a storm:
Let's start up a gofundme page to raise money to fly #s out there.
The weathergasm would kill some.
I’ll take my 75 and dry and sunny. 😎
The could use the precipitation, but not all at once.
What they really could use is another reservoir or two to save this water (their last one was completed in 1979 and population has grown by 15 million since then), but that will never happen under their current form of government.The could use the precipitation, but not all at once.
I've often wondered why they aren't capturing the water from events like this.... All this precipitation yet they'll be complaining about a drought by late summer.What they really could use is another reservoir or two to save this water (their last one was completed in 1979 and population has grown by 15 million since then), but that will never happen under their current form of government.

They do...it is called snowmelt and reservoirs...they have many. It isn’t natures fault CA has 40M people and a very thirsty agricultural sector.I've often wondered why they aren't capturing the water from events like this....

Yeah, but as @krup said above, they haven't built a new reservoir iin over 40 years, so to respond to the huge population growth/demand and the agricultural demand growth, they either need to capture more of the water that's available or reduce consumption (or consider other sources/technologies, like desalination, which some countries are doing quite successfully). Water supply/demand and water rights and storage/delivery technologies are a looming disaster for CA and other parts of the west.They do...it is called snowmelt and reservoirs...they have many.

I've heard that they've done some serious damage due to the fact that they've lowered the water table so much over the previous decades.They do...it is called snowmelt and reservoirs...they have many. It isn’t natures fault CA has 40M people and a very thirsty agricultural sector.

Is that from RU#'s front yard?
This is a CA-inflicted problem, not Mother Nature’s. Mediterranean climates of the west coast and summer dry / winter wet climate ebb and flow has been known since the area was settled...if CA has done nothing about it, oh well!Yeah, but as @krup said above, they haven't built a new reservoir iin over 40 years, so to respond to the huge population growth/demand and the agricultural demand growth, they either need to capture more of the water that's available or reduce consumption (or consider other sources/technologies, like desalination, which some countries are doing quite successfully).

Completely agree - this is what happens when we put 50MM people in the desert (CA/AZ/NV). The states need to step up, as do the Feds, since water rights are an interstate issue...This is a CA-inflicted problem, not Mother Nature’s.

it's on my bucket list - was going to try to do it this year. Thanks COVID, lol. Next year.I'd kill to be able to experience a storm like this or even a long duration lake effect event on the tug hill plateau.
It's Chinatown Jake.Completely agree - this is what happens when we put 50MM people in the desert (CA/AZ/NV). The states need to step up, as do the Feds, since water rights are an interstate issue...
Water rights are not a federal issue. Only if there is an interstate compact (like the Colorado River, amybe the Delaware?). Different staes have different approaches to water rights (first in time, riparian). Snow falling in the Sierra and used in the California valleys is a state issue.It's Chinatown Jake.
See above. And don't ever say "water rights are a federal issue" if you happen to be standing in the interior west and there are any ranchers nearby!!!!!Completely agree - this is what happens when we put 50MM people in the desert (CA/AZ/NV).

Thank you for starting this thread four days in advance. 😉
Well on your way to becoming one the board’s most notorious trolls. Hopefully you’re at least getting paid for it like some others.Oooooh time again for wishcasting, generalizations, exaggerations, rationalizations, more wishcasting, arguments, counter-arguments, e-fights and drama...
More entertaining than even the article where the Chinese claim Covid anal swabs are better than nasal ones! 🥳🍸😎
The worst part is he's a meteorologist, but won't even comment on these threads, which is a shame, as we could use some good input. Let's see if we can get @RUJohnny to post, though - he nailed the 12/16 storm.Well on your way to becoming one the board’s most notorious trolls.

He knows why...😎Thank you for starting this thread four days in advance. 😉
I ❤️ you 👍Oh, I finally understand why a nor'easter is called that: because the storm moves northeasterly.. Am I right? I've always wondered about the name.

So why don't we wait until there is legit info? Hmm. Still racing against Tango to start weather threads? LOL.Like any potential major storm, the details are highly uncertain 4-5 days out, with outcomes being somewhat different across the models which is to be expected this far out.
