From my experience, dry and droughts this early really suck more because there just wasn’t a chance to fill reservoirs and aquifers during the “rainy” season of winter and spring. So when we get hot and dry that’s when the pain hits. Low flows now ain’t good
Thank you! I’m not officially recognizing the age I’m at now and going with the age my kid gave me. I’m 46.
And hope the recital goes well today!!
Thanks as well to @WxUSAF
Hey, i remember when weather was forecast by the cows laying down and how many times the rooster crowed. Per wiki, of course. Not that i personally forecast that way.
Hazy sunshine currently/
Standard depth for water mains was 4’. Deeper than that was called over depth and the contractor charged more so every attempt was made to be at 4’. Gas was supposed to be min 3’ along with electric and telephone. Cable was notorious for being more shallow.
Even at 4’ water mains here are subject to the impacts of the freeze thaw cycle. Most main breaks were between Nov-Mar due to the heaving of the soil. Part of what we did was replacing the older mains that became more prone to breaks from cold weather.
