Early Signs of the Upcoming El Nino
Professional Sierra Landscape Photographer
I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Early Signs of the Upcoming El Nino
I'll believe it when I see a raindrop. It was 91 degrees here today in Petaluma.
I do believe that with El Nino, the southland (LA) is going to get slammed.

Re: Early Signs of the Upcoming El Nino
We're gettin' slammed alright. It's been in the upper 90F for the last couple of days. And I'm only a few miles from the beach. The coolest place in the vicinity.
If you don't know where you're going, then any path will get you there.

Marmots, which live above the tree line in the High Sierra, have already gone into hibernation near the Sierra crest in Yosemite National Park.
This would be news to the marmots we saw every day last week in upper Hutchings Creek, the Lyell Fork Merced headwaters, and the Florence lakes basin.
Tom Stienstra has been phoning it in since Reagan was in the White House.

Re: Early Signs of the Upcoming El Nino
Yea, remember both of the last two winters there was a system out in the Pacific and forecasters were telling everyone to prepare for a '97 like flood. Both times it just floated by with no precip at all.rlown wrote:I'll believe it when I see a raindrop.
When he first came to power and before the world realized how wacky he is, Vladimir Putin forced a law through the Duma. Russian weather forecasters had to predict with 95% accuracy or better; failure to do so results in prison. Who knows, we may have someone with a similar style in 13 months.

Re: Early Signs of the Upcoming El Nino
To the South maybe. All the mud you can drink down there.
I've got to be shown some evidence to the North. We need Shasta Lk to fill up fast..
Also makes me want to ask the North to stop sending water to the South.

Re: Early Signs of the Upcoming El Nino
Don't see your point. It's no secret that El Nino never gives evenly across the state. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's a dud.
Lakes Sonoma and Mendocino look pretty bad, too. Perhaps you should also ask Sonoma County Water Agency to stop sending water South to Petaluma.

Re: Early Signs of the Upcoming El Nino
I'm on a well. Everything right now looks like a dry mudhole.
How much water was actually captured in the last storm, South-wise?
