Seven feet of snow in California. Bye, bye drought!!

[skookerasbil]

duh........and for weeks, the climate nutters heads have been exploding in here about this, as if California drought is some new phenomenon in recent years due to climate change, which, of course, is a bunch of hooey.

Its been posted up many, many times in here.......the map of the history of US drought. It comes and goes going back to forever. The climate k00ks only want to talk about in years its full on drought. Fake.

So..........whos not winning s0ns??

 

[skookerasbil]

Oh.........this was a top story all day on DRUDGE yesterday!!

 

[SSDD]

Too bad that kids won't know what snow is...

Great Sierra snow doesn't necessarily mean no drought, if you refuse to build water infrastructure. It just all runs to the sea or lakes.

The Sierra Nevada is at about 35% of normal for snow pack. I think this time last year we were at 130% of normal. The ski resorts were all closed this winter because no snow and just opened a week ago. Possible showers this Friday but nowhere close to what we need.

The majority of California is still in the abnormally dry range, with about 20% of California in severe drought.

Current Map

California is home to about 1,400 dams – including the fifth-tallest dam in the United States – and nearly as many man-made reservoirs. As one of the most drought-stricken states in the country, Californiarelies heavily on its dams for its water supply, irrigation, flood control, water quality and energy. The state's tallest dams meet or exceed 550 feet in height

5 Largest Dams in California

Do you really think that there is that many places that they can put a dam? You have to have adequate rock to anchor the dam.

The St. Francis Dam was a curved concrete gravity dam, built to create a large regulating and storage reservoir for the city of Los Angeles, California. The reservoir was an integral part of the city's Los Angeles Aqueduct water supply infrastructure. It was located in San Francisquito Canyon of the Sierra Pelona Mountains, about 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Downtown Los Angeles, and approximately 10 miles (16 km) north of the present day city of Santa Clarita.

The dam was designed and built between 1924 and 1926 by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, then named the Bureau of Water Works and Supply. The department was under the direction of its General Manager and Chief Engineer, William Mulholland.

At 11:57 p.m. on March 12, 1928, the dam catastrophically failed, and the resulting flood took the lives of at least an estimated 431 people.[2][3] The collapse of the St. Francis Dam is considered to be one of the worst American civil engineering disasters of the 20th century and remains the second-greatest loss of life in California's history, after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. The disaster marked the end of Mulholland's career.[4]

The committee ended their report with, "...having examined all the evidence which it has been able to obtain to date reports its conclusions as follows:

1. The type and dimensions of the dam were amply sufficient if based on suitable foundation.
2. The concrete of which the dam was built was of ample strength to resist the stresses to which it would normally be subjected.
3. The failure cannot be laid to movement of the earth's crust.
4. The dam failed as a result of defective foundations.
5. This failure reflects in no way the stability of a well designed gravity dam properly founded on suitable bedrock."[53]

You just cannot throw up a dam where ever you find running water. California learned this the hard way.

lol.......well........everybody and their brother knows that California does everything wrong. The state really is a laughing stock and a highlight reel for how not to do government. It is indeed the State of Stoopid..........idiots have a glut of electricity and still pay more than 40% of the national average...........

California has glut of electricity but residents still pay 40% more than national average

Why did California build lots of damn's back in the day? Because they've been plagued with drought since.......forever and long long before anybody every heard of an SUV. But not always........California has gone through many of years of zero to no drought, as all the historical maps show very clearly. I will post one up upon request........goes back to the later 19th century!! Makes all the people who get hysterical about California drought look dopey!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Here's the AGW Hypothesis:

Top Story on the Weather channel + the phrase (because of manmade global warming!!!!) = proof of manmade global warming

1. CA Drought because of manmade global warming proves manmade global warming
2. 7 feet of snow in CA because of manmade global warming proves manmade global warming

See?

We got little to none of that snow in SoCal. Palomar has no snow from this last storm.
