Yep, we do ! We had a good winter last year, but a hot, dry summer ! Our summer 'monsoon season' not only started three weeks later than normal, but we had very little rain this summer, monsoon or no ! We actually got more precipitation in those three rainy days last week that we did during the whole monsoon season ! If you folks up north get a heavy snowfall in the mountains, a lot of that run-off flows down into the Colorado River from its many tributaries, which helps alleviate our drought-driven water shortage here in the desert ! Sorry you have to suffer through it, but it's a God-send
to us !

is to us too Big A. We've been in a drought here for a long time. Last winter was the first heavy snowfall we've had here in years and like you our summer was hot and dry. Believe me at 6,000 ft. 90+ is just as hot as tour one teens. And abnormally we had almost 9 weeks of it this year. Usually only 2 or 3.

Without the winter there would be no Spring, without the Spring there would be no spawn, without the spawn, FEWER FISH!

Just to show how bad this drought has been (it started in the mid-90s), this is how low Lake Mead has gotten since 1994 ! Those wakes are not small boats; they're big powerboats like cruisers and ski-boats ! We've already gotten some decently measurable snow in the north country (above 6,000
ft. elevation) and our two ski areas have been open for several
weeks ! Hope we continue the trend through the winter; we could certainly use it !


Beautiful pic Big A. And sad at the same time with the water so low.
