Rainfall totals across the north state in the last 20 days have been encouraging: reservoirs are filling up, farmers are breathing a sigh of relief, and State Water resources folks are scaling back cuts announced only last month(March).
Impressive rainfall numbers were logged in NorCal,, especially the foothills, where the storage facilities are. In the north Sierra, La Porte above Lake Oroville received 30" of rain in Feb. Likewise, Sierraville on the Yuba River. Bucks Lake near Quincy had 24". Spaulding Lake along I 80 had 23"+. Blue Canyon had 26"+.
Down south, in SoCal, Pyramid Lake is 99% full, Lake Castaic is 84%, and the California Aqueduct is full as are swimming pools all over.
So, good news, and it is still raining in NorCal and more on the way. Fish are happy.
Central Valley almond growers have seen their trees, bud up, pop blossoms, and begin to leaf out already. Very encouraging signs.
Doom sayers have been quiet. Praise the Lord.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
