I have never seen an El Nino this strong or warm Warpy Jan 2014 #22

We all know that it was laid out to us years ago, what was happening. Cleita Jan 2014 #23

At the risk of nitpicking, it's not an El Nino winter. subterranean Jan 2014 #81

Science has answers, like cloud seeding (see my post below). stopbush Jan 2014 #55

Rain Turtle RobertEarl Jan 2014 #12

Sounds like I need a shaman who knows the spiritual chant to do that and thanks. However, Cleita Jan 2014 #15

You are buzzed, eh? RobertEarl Jan 2014 #20

I really have to wonder why your image is a turtle to begin with. Cleita Jan 2014 #21

Why a turtle? RobertEarl Jan 2014 #29

Of course. You are wonderful. Cleita Jan 2014 #32

Good luck. RobertEarl Jan 2014 #34

It hit 82 today in L.A. In January. This is insane. SunSeeker Jan 2014 #17

Exactly and they showed Folsom Lake in the news today. I once camped there with Cleita Jan 2014 #18

I look forward to your post next week after your woo hasn't delivered any significant rain to CA. stopbush Jan 2014 #51

Why are you so incredibly condescending, using phrases like "Beyond your understanding?" villager Jan 2014 #77

It was a response aimed at another poster who wrote stopbush Jan 2014 #78
