I guess the pineapple express headed south, but not that far south. We're getting some rain today but no disastrous flooding or people drowning in the storm gutters.Dinsdale wrote:Mikey wrote:

Very little precip here lately. Been sunny and cold-as-fuck for the last few days. Supposed to snow a little Saturday, maybe (snow accumulation twice in one winter -- fuck off, Mother Nature).
Cascades are piled high right now. Rocking about 12 feet at the ski resorts -- we should be able to drink water and stuff this summer.

I've been wondering about that, seems Cali has had a few trillion gallons of precip of late but it's still in an historic drought?Mikey wrote:(of course the drought isn't over...)

You're right. Let's "catch the water" and fill the reservoirs. That's how you fill them, right? Set out a few barrels around the neighborhood and truck them over to the lake when they fill up?schmick wrote:War Wagon wrote:I've been wondering about that, seems Cali has had a few trillion gallons of precip of late but it's still in an historic drought?Mikey wrote:(of course the drought isn't over...)
Sorta' like the global warning and now climate change hoax... that's your story and you're sticking to it.
75% of rainfall that California gets washes straight out to sea. The dims block any sort of plan to catch the water and fill the reservoirs because that would stop them from being able to gouge the citizens water bills and tell people to not water their lawns while crying about global warming and rising sea levels.
I believe the eastern slope of the sierras are part of it's watershed, isn't it?Dinsdale wrote:smackaholic wrote:When a lake the size of Mead is 150 feet down from full, it is gonna take more than a few weeks of rain to fill it.
Wait what?
I soooooo fucking missed the story that covered moving Lake Mead to California. Freaking media really let me down there.

Ding, ding ding! There was never a drought. The faux drought is over.schmick wrote:

Wrong (see above).Dinsdale wrote:smackaholic wrote:Now that I think about it some, i think it does drain into the colorado,but probably below hoover dam.
Pretty sure the east Sierra slopes in Northern Nevada (pretty freaking huge state) drain to the Truckee (which drains into the Great Basin), the southern parts hit to Colorado.
And the eastern slopes that drain to the Colorado average somewhere right around 0.00" of precipitation a year, give or take a couple of inches... ergo (Latin) the term "desert."
You're wrong, since I'm half right.Mikey wrote:

As the crow flys, the eastern slopes actually arent that far from the lower Colorado, but, water doesn't fly like a crow, apparently.Mikey wrote:What the hell are you talking about?
Notice how Lake Mead is ON (part of) the Colorado river? The Sierra Nevada is basically just to the right of where it says "California", and nowhere near Lake Mead or the Colorado River.

The east sides of all the western ranges are typically MUCH drier. Once the clouds push up over, they quit dumping, and start dropping back into the valley. Then they hit the next range... lather, rinse, repeat. Eastern Oregon is a good example of this -- as soon as they clear the Cascades and hit the Deschutes, it's pretty dry. Once the moisture reorganizes and hits the Blue Mountains, it dumps snow (snow, because there isn't much moisture coming in outside of winter). While there's many different climates in the West, this is a recurring theme in everywhere west of the Rockies, some places wetter than others.smackaholic wrote:So, the western slopes more or bogart all the water then? The few gallons that get over the ridge are sopped up by those fukking socal sponges? Guess that makes sense.

And LS, new lakes are no carbon neutral you stupid silly fuck.
Read more post less. I didn't say they were carbon neutral. I said the power many of them provide has almost no emmisssions. I also said that desal takes huge amounts of power which puts the desal folks at odds with the green power folks.Moving Sale wrote:It is absolutely no coincidence that the stupidest people on this board are the biggest orange snowflake supporters.
