Especially in TX.
Crazy how much snow they've had in the west this year. I was in a budget call with the team that runs our campus in Salt Lake. They undershot our snow removal budget by $200k.
...and they were writing newspaper articles about the lack of snow this winter in NYC when I was there earlier this month. Wild stuff.
The snow melt is going to really tax Cali dams. As much as I despise that state, let's hope those things hold up and innocents are not hit.
i think we can mark ourselves safe from joe *******i doom casting for this winter
I had to turn my AC on last night...it's February.Bondag said:TJaggie14 said:

Boobs.
If the dumbasses there actually elected competent individuals, they would have built needed reservoirs to capture the runoff to support their population.CDUB98 said:

Most of the water west of the Rockies is fully appropriated to various rights holders. Nearly all of that meltwater runoff is going into one of those appropriated watersheds. So even if they built a dam to capture it, they would likely not be allowed to use more than they are now unless they buy the water rights from somebody else. The Colorado River is already over-appropriated based on recent flows, so even buying the rights doesn't guarantee you actually can use the water you bought if your rights are too junior and there is not enough to satisfy the downstream senior rights holders.aTm2004 said:If the dumbasses there actually elected competent individuals, they would have built needed reservoirs to capture the runoff to support their population.CDUB98 said:

Yep, quite ironic that water-starved Cali missed out on capturing the historic rains a few weeks ago because of poor planning.aTm2004 said:If the dumbasses there actually elected competent individuals, they would have built needed reservoirs to capture the runoff to support their population.CDUB98 said:

I was just reading that a lot of that Cali runoff that is usually flushed to the Pacific in order to satisfy the envirowhackadoos is being held back in reservoirs per XO from Newsome. And a lot is going to be sent through the Colorado to replenish Lake Mead, etc.
But it is absolute fact that the Colorado is over-appropriated. Most years it dries up well before it hits the Gulf of California.

I've had my A/C on for the past several days and played golf in shorts on Monnday and broke a sweat
Yep, they flush a ton of water down the Sacramento to protect the Delta Smelt I believe. But that water isn't going to affect the Colorado unless they are pumping it over the Sierras to get it there. I doubt they are doing anything to directly replenish Lake Meade. They are likely using the water they are holding back in the reservoirs to offset water they would have otherwise withdrawn from the Colorado instead.TarponChaser said:txags92 said:Most of the water west of the Rockies is fully appropriated to various rights holders.

anyone have any 30 day out predictions for late March weather?
So it's OK to where my cargo shorts, Salt Life Tshirt, and boat shoes to cook-off this weekend?
Don't forget your white framed sunglasses.Ag_07 said:

And make sure it's a long-sleeve Salt Life tee. Establishes you as someone that seems to be in the sun a whole lot while fishing a whole lot.

When you say boat shoes, I assume you mean "Hey Dudes" right? Otherwise, you need to rethink your footwear choices.
Idk what hey dudes are, but top siders or other shoes of the same style are the only boat shoe in my opinion. Id love a pair of quoddys.
Hey dudes are all fabric top sider type shoes. Multiple different colors. Kids are into them. I tried a pair but didn't like them.
Had no idea that's what they're called by yes that's them.
Much of my work keeps me outside. F*** 83+ degrees in February.
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Correct. And it's insane how much runoff has already just flowed right out to sea and how much will soon flow out with the spring melt. All the reservoirs are full right now but will be back down come summer and they'll all be *****ing about global warming causing their current drought.
