I also foresee 'drought 23' being a thing. Definitely a concern. We need the snowpack, especially by the reservoirs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think warm season drought is just gonna be an annual thing during years without big tropical intrusions. You either get a stalled subtrop in June and then a hurricane PRE late summer, or you have water restrictions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted in the main thread a couple of days ago how even in a good winter we go through stretches like we have this February, really? I'm old enough to remember taking my jacket off in February because I couldn't believe it was in the high 40's. Low to mid 60's in January and February for several days, with 50's every third or fourth day, I never remember anything close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun weekend of weather....but much better for May than February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
