So here we are in mid-January and no rain still. Last year saw rain amounts between 8" and 13" here in the Bay Area for the entire calendar year. Our lakes are shrinking very fast and there is no natural snow in the mountains. I saw on the news that bears are confused so they aren't even hibernating.
Southern California (bastards) have voted to take whatever water we have here through a tunnel system that was approved by voters (SoCal voters mainly). This is beginning to be a very bad situation here. We are in a fire alert here which is highly unusual during the middle of Winter. One island in the Delta is burning right now and most of Northern California is on fire alert.
This seemed appropriate to post since this is affecting many lake boaters in this region. If the rains don't catch up to the impending drought, many lakes will be impossible to boat on soon. 2013 is now listed as the driest year in recorded history. I like to tease about how nice it is here this Winter but we are all becoming very nervous about the thought of water rationing due to the current situation. Has anyone in the other areas of the Country had to experience such drought conditions?
