isn't as important as the snowpack. Remember a few years ago when Gov Brown went up to the mountains and measured the snowpack? One year there wasn't even enough snow on the ground to measure while the following year there was about 11' when he measured it. Climate change is all about extremes. We better start building tons of desalination plants and they are VERY expensive. That is how the UAE gets all of their water in a desert. They even have an indoor ski slope in a mall (in Dubai I think).
