Damn it feels good to have 70 degree weather in November.
Wonder what JimJohnson thinks.

Living in CA I sure hope there is an El Nino. It could rain from now until March and the lakes and reservoirs would still be half full

Do you live in LA county? As a Californian, you know that everywhere you turn, someone is telling you to conserve water. My mother even put in an artificial lawn in her backyard, and let her avocado and lemon trees die in an effort to conserve. Everyone has done such a great job at conserving water, that guess what the water district decided to do? Raise rates!!! We've cut our water usage so much that now their revenues are too low, so now they're making everyone pay. Congrats, you did such a good job at conserving water, now we're gonna raise the rates on you. LOL!

But once it rains a bunch and there is enough water, they'll drop the rates right down I'm sure.

It means lots of snow for the rocky mountains. My ski trip Taos should be good.

Yep. The city that I live did plan pretty well for a drought by putting in storm sewers feeding into a pretty good size basin about ten or so years ago. And it resisted the temptation of selling its water rights when the financial world collapsed and caused the almost depression that we had, As for the state, I believe that the state should engineer and install a waterway system into big time reservoirs to capture the rain and runoff during the year, especially during periods of El Nino. It is entirely doable.

Yep. These government bastards never think beyond the nose of their face and make herky jerky decisions on the spot. It truly is amazing that out of the very very intelligent people in this country, it doesn't plan worth a shit on actually doing something worthwhile for everyone. No way a state that borders on a major ocean should be concerned with having enough water for its citizens. Its solvable with technology and expertise in using it. The United States could lead the world in reclaiming H2O and the obvious benefits resulting in the production of food in the world.

Putting up holiday lighting in a t-shirt today.
Hopefully this will be a repeat of 2012, minus the record heat come summer.

Good one
That is like the "temporary" taxes that city and state government place on citizens in order to solve budget shortages. Ever see one of those taxes go away, like EVER?

Do-able? Of course. Not just groundwater recharge or recycled water but RO Desal.
What you run into is the cost of it. That when you have problems. No one wants to pay for it. Even if you somehow got everything public sector to take a paycut to fund that you'd still need to raise taxes to pay for it--even if the engineering was quick and solid for designing it and the distribution networks and the constructing was smooth and under-budget.
Although recycled water is kinda a hard sell to squeamish american taste buds. Yes, we have the technology to produce treatment/recycle facilities that can make raw sewage completely safe and potable. Getting your average person to buy off on going Bear Grylls as a nation (even though we're all drinking recycled dinosaur piss right now), that's hard to do.
