From what I can remember when I lived down there the snow packs seemed to last longer. Remember we just have Shasta Dam up here which is used to try and feed everything South of here. Already Mt Lassen and Mt. Shasta are showing bare places.
Higher food prices are here and have been for some time and are just going up more. I am not sure just how far they can extend the water intakes for the cities into the lake, but a couple of years ago they just about reached the end of it. Time to go to Dunsmuir and buy stock in the bottled water companies.
How are the fruit orchards doing down there with their irrigation? That is another thing they are going to shut off up here soon. We used to have huge strawberry fields and now they don't even have any for the Strawberry Festival unless they import them.
