Californians have been concerned about state water amounts for several years. Media has the topic "inundated" with coverage, as though they were beating an old horse, to the point that the citizenry has about had enough of this relentless barrage of bad news. Throw in all the climate change scare tactics favored by Jerry brown and his minions in Sacramento and you have massive fatigue on the voters. So, some good news: Lake Oroville, the largest of the Sierra dam/water storage units, currently is at 93% of historical average. The current storm cycle should push water levels to well above that figure, maybe even close to capacity.
This represents a milestone in local water administration. So much of California's economy is ag based, that water determines the health of the state's economy. This also translates into the effect on the economy of Mexico and Latin America where most of the remissions are sent from workers who are paid in dollars in California.
The annual snow storage measurement will soon be taken, if agents can make the sits(s). Given snow levels and amounts falling today, the point will be moot: there's a lot up there!
So, stay dry, wax your skis, and get ready for powder.
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.
