Many places like Southern California are facing a water shortage. http://j.mp/19jEtW will show you how far the water reserve levels have declined in Southern California. You will find a gauge on the site with three-color zones: Blue – good, Yellow – not good and Red – bad. The needle on this gauge is dropping out of the blue zone and heading into the yellow zone. Hence we need to use water wisely.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good El Niño year. George, "leftovers" is definitely how I feel about our weather. We're usually too far south for most of the Arctic fronts and way too far north for the summer monsoons from Mexico. I suppose that's why the rain-haters pay the big bucks to live here.

It's like there's an invisible barrier between us and L.A. A friend who's an emergency services manager in Santa Barbara, a mere 200 miles away, told me that San Marcos Pass (in the mountain overlooking SB) received 10 inches. I would have been happy to see 1/20th of that here. Alas, in Del Cerro we only got a 3 minute sprinkle Monday night which quickly evaporated.
