What a Winter this has been so far. Record high temperatures, no rain or snow, and yesterday the weather people said this was our driest Winter since 1977 and that if we didn't get huge amounts of rain and snow in the next two months next summer could be the worst in Northern Californias history. I am not sure how Southern California is doing for water, but up here they are already starting rationing in some places and these are the months that we should be having rain day and night for weeks at a time. Some farmers have already said they would be letting thousands of acres go un-planted as they would use what water they could get to try and save their orchards. Food is going to go out of sight soon. And some ranchers are getting ready to sell off as many of their beef cattle as they can due to lack of water. That may drive the price of beef down for a short time, but then it will go out of sight as there will be a shortage of it. This is all the worst case scenario they laid out, and it could improve a lot if the rain and snow ever come here and leave Warren and Tru alone.
This is what I wish it looked like on the coast up here.
