Pray for rain. And Snow

Postby balzaccom » Tue Nov 27, 2012 3:13 pm

Yes, we've had a few storms, and another one or more is on the way. But we really do need a long wet winter this year. Last year was way below normal, and things are just plain dry.


Take a look at this photo of Donnell Reservoir on the Stanislaus River, and you'll see what we mean.

No kidding...we tend to take for granted all the water during summer when we go camping, fishing, no to mention the water at home.
