Easy 10.5 miles this afternoon. I think it was easy.. Ninety three degrees at lunch time.
Taking a look at snow pack levels for the Western United States in this year and previous years. Less and less with exception of increases in some cases. Also precipitation levels for the country in the last century. As a nation, we seem to be having more precipitation overall in the last 100 years. I'm not a climatologist and I can't figure out whats going on. Global warming plus increased population? Perhaps..
What I do know is that without better water management we are going to be in trouble. Especially in the next few years.. If this keeps up I'm not sure if there is going to be enough hydro-electric generation to keep the Pacific Northwest going along with California. Hoover Dam along with others in California seem to be getting to a really critical low level. Important vegetable growing areas like Imperial Valley depend on this water also.
