How's your weather

No snow here tomorrow.

It's raining.

Rain?

That's when water falls from the sky and then we can use it to cook, bathe and water our plants?

I remember that.

No rain here today.. just snow flurries this morning, it's still much too cold, 23 or so tonight,
a bit of a warm up tomorrow.
Joe I sure hope you all get much needed rain soon to help with the drought .

The water for my little community normally comes from a series of wells which are now dry for all practical purposes.

We are now getting our water from Lake Casitas which is 5 miles from my home.

The lake is down to 60% of it's capacity. These pictures might not mean much to you since you have never seen it but here we go.

It's a bit like Lake Mead which has dropped about 120' over a few years due to an extended drought.

Not funny!

I just got in after shovelling 8-10 inches of snow for about 2 hrs!

Ok, it is a bit funny :)

Since you extended an offer to visit, I've already booked travel.... I think I can find my way to Lake Casitas - that puts me within hiking distance, so I'll just walk around for a few hours and enjoy your weather. I've got my shades and I packed my shorts... I think I'm ready... I know I'm ready!

When I see a "flying fox", I know I'm getting close.

On the other hand.... we do have plenty of water. I propose a trade of some sorts.....

You can tell how much the lake has dropped by the old water line... that's fairly drastic.

Weather envy Bill
.

Six inches of snow on the ground this morn (on top of the 3" we got on Sun) with 4 - 6" more inches expected by the time this storm is over.

It's here !
Right now it's coming at a rate of 3-4" an hour.

Joe it's obvious you need a lot more water , for your lakes , streams to fill up to their normal range.
Snow would also help this , or don't your mountains drain down to your area and help as well ?
