Latest winter storm boosts California's astounding snowpack; drought conditions improving

https://ktla.com/weather/latest-winter-storm-boosts-californias-astounding-snowpack/

"New data shows California’s already epic snowpack, not surprisingly, has improved even more thanks to last week’s winter storm that buried the Sierra Nevada mountain range under several additional feet of snow."

"Thanks to California’s extraordinarily wet and snowy winter, several regions of the Golden State including the Central Coast and Central Sierra, are no longer considered to be in a drought."

"Water managers, however, caution that no single wet winter could erase the challenges caused by years of extreme drought."

“While winter storms have helped the snowpack and reservoirs, groundwater basins are much slower to recover. Many rural areas are still experiencing water supply challenges, especially communities that rely on groundwater supplies which have been depleted due to prolonged drought,” said Jeanine Jones, Interstate Resources Manager at DWR.

Steve Martin on SNL...King Tut

When I need a laugh and this comes to my rescue. Father Guido Sarducci and "Find The Pope In The Pizza" never gets old either.

Why are most of the US mass murderers men?

Is this a mental, physical or emotional issue that we are not addressing or are we choosing to ignore the obvious facts from thousands of years? Is this a gender issue that has no reasoning behind it? Is it mainly a physical problem? If it is then how are we to correct it?

Cardiac issues. My heart has grown 3 sizes

Or possibly even more....sort of like The Grinch. My heart issues are a direct result of DU members giving me too many hearts, more than I deserve or expected. Thank you!!!

Do you shout out to your TV during the SOTU address

like I do? I boo/hiss and woohoo/clap and I don't care if it is a flat screen of electrical connections. Since I live alone no one tells me to "keep it down".

When I continue to hear MSNBC hosts deny their

participation leading up to the midterms BS about how devastating the economy was under Biden and how the GQP would win in a landslide, as a result. My my, one week later they miraculously do a 180° and since that time the economy has continued to strengthen. What fucking BS is this from MSNBC hosts for the last two months since the midterms. Do they think we do not remember what they broadcasted only 2 months ago? All the MSNBC hosts spoke about, leading to the midterms, was how horrible the Dems would do due to inflation and gas prices. Poof! Magically the economy and gas prices were not a national problem any longer after the midterms. Fuck the "liberal media". They work for $$$/ ratings just like the GQP does. How can they go on TV everyday and pretend they never said anything unrealistic and deceptive leading up to Nov.? Fuck them!!!!!

I haven't celebrated Valentine's Day after my baby died for

almost 3 years. Today I received 2 DU HEARTS and a Valentine Card from the San Diego Humane Society. Spike and I appreciate this more than I can say. There are no words to express my heartfelt gratitude.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
