We are now on our 6th day of rain. The Sump pump is now overwhelmed and the carports are flooded. One of the buildings is being threatened. I am off to rent more pumps in just a few minutes. But, perversely, it still isn't enough rain.
It has officially been rainy season since Oct ober 15 but we have had less than 2 weeks of rain since then. On Jan 31 the snow pack in the Sierra Nevada range was 61% below normal. (There is an argument about what normal means. Some scientist are now contending that what we call normal is based on several decades of unusually heavy precipitation.) Many of the reservoirs are still close to empty. Rationing is still likely. Please, people, stop moving to California. Go to Wisconsin and Minnesota instead. They have water.
Oh, by the way, the amount of water consumed by lawns is another reason why I think it is immoral for CCRs and local ordinances to require lawns.

Perhaps you are unaware of your Govenor's ad campaign begging us all to move to California?
Tom, I had no idea the Gov was trying to get people to move here. How utterly government-like.
