What Will Winter Hold for Drought-Plagued California? – Drought without let-up

Greetings,

( Note: The drought is not letting her go. California is being broken. Her agriculture, her water supply, her trade, her tax revenue, and her economic…it’s all shot to pieces. Now nothing holds truer than the old saying as…”As California goes, so goes America!”

Can we say ,economic collapse? If not, you better learn to say it quickly because it’s here!)

What Will Winter Hold for Drought-Plagued California?

California really needs this winter to be a wet one.

The state is now at the beginning of the fourth year of one if its worst droughts on record. The drought has been fueled by a spate of disappointing winter rainy seasons that have left meager snowpacks and diminished reservoir levels, combined with record-warm temperatures that have driven demand for the increasingly precious resource, and spurred a series of conservation measures around the state.

Hopes that the coming winter could finally bring some relief were raised when the first murmurs of an impending El Niño began to emerge in March. The climate phenomenon can be associated with amped up rains in the southern part of the state, and so the words “El Niño” became something of a mantra across the parched lands.

“People have latched on to the notion that El Niño will bring about relief,” California state climatologist Michael Anderson told Climate Central. “That seems to be something they’ve grasped onto quite firmly.”

But this winter likely won’t be the one Californians so desperately need, as the budding El Niño is expected to only be a weak event and unlikely to do much to bolster those dwindling water reserves…..more here
