We need snow in the mountains to stop the bark beetles from killing the trees. As I've looked back at old photos of where I grew up in Simi Valley Ca. In the 40's and 50's they had more snow in the hills and streets. I lived there in the 60's and just remember maybe 3 days throughout my time there it snowed. It wouldn't snow all the time, and when it did it wasn't much. Then I remember in my teens visiting Big Bear, and in those days you had to worry if the road would be open to go skiing. Now you have to worry if there will be snow on the hills to ski. And now I live near Yosemite, and there is no snow up there. I'm thinking maybe Ca is done with snow, and if that's the case we're so screwed. Maybe use some of this desal water to fill lakes and rivers. Maybe that will bring back the rain and snow clouds we need so bad.
Once the trees are dead, it's going to be a desert once again.
Rocketdyne in 1957. This place would always be testing rocket engines and the whole town would rumble, but that is the surrounding Mountains in Simi. I've never seen those mountains with snow that I could remember.
