The Official Drought Thread

The bad news is my vegetable garden is stagnant due to the lack of direct sunlight.

I would have more sympathy for you if would post a picture of Lake Powell's lower water levels.

In utah it has been a bizarre month for weather. heavy rain every week, lots of lightening and thunder, colder temps, very few hot days. Feels more like October. good news is lots of greenery and no raging fires.

I do hope this points to a snowy winter ahead.

Seems like the wettest August on record in my part of the country. It's like we moved to Oregon. But record wetness here is still not very wet.

All others. Blow it out your ass...

Is it cool if I make my obligatory Colombia reference any time anyone refers to California as Cali?

Have a heart for the good people/boaters of Oroville.

It's punishment enough to have to live in Orville. And to not have the lake for the weekend....that's more than any person should have to endure.

Those pics don't really show the effects of the drought unless your concern is recreational boating.

Since I am familiar with that lake and have done some water skiing there, I appreciate your sharing of these pictures.

I hope those who are trying to prove their smart ass credentials, don't dissuade you from posting other interesting things.

I agree. Until I see a picture of PAC's browning lawn, I'm withholding judgement.

At least it is an effect! Show me real effects of droughts, not the plight of the recreational wakeboarder.

Or you rely on the water from the reservoirs.

Things are getting very scary for California.

Even then they don't really show the effects, just a lower reserve. Show some pics of dried out crops that are usually fed from those specific reservoirs, that would be an effect unrelated to recreational boating. I think PAC had mentioned that his lawn is brown, that would be an effect. A pic of a lower reserve could be problematic but we would need to know more first.

and it was just a bunch of pics of the same reservoir, with 2 shots right at the beginning of Folsom Lake. Pretty lame.
