Mag6240 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Well that's basically what is happening, is it not?? Lake Mead and Lake Powell are swelling. Here’s what that means for the water supply (msn.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a guy last night say it would take 3-5 more years of precipitation like this year to get back to normal levels. He then went on to say that wasn’t likely. I thought to myself why not? The weather during the last 20 years have been anomalous in the SW. very dry and hot. What’s to say that this isn’t a reversal of sort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s to say that this isn’t a reversal of sort. Exactly - I remember back in the early 2000s there were some guys with the biggest/baddest mountain sleds at the time riding in the Sierra Nevada mountains for a good 4-5 years in a row with stellar snow conditions. They put out a ton of vids of their little adventures. So yeah, it's happened before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Powell will probably fill up much more than Mead in this instance. But we'll take it. Our reservoirs along the Salt River on the east end of town are overflowing. All four reservoirs on the Salt River system are filled right to the brim and we're having to dump excess water out into the desert. The Salt and Gila rivers down towards Gila Bend are flowing once again. Something that only happens on occasion. It sucks we can't recapture all of that, but a good bit of it does end up in our aquifers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not wrong. Northern Europe and North America have had years of great prosperity when temps were warmer than they are today. Seriously, look at the shit weather Wisconsin has had this spring and ask yourself if a little warming wouldn't be nice? There was still a foot of snow in the yard, and we got 3 inches of snow when I was back in Appleton to bury my grandpa on 4/1. Fuck that...

sleepybrew Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 i think we see it between the midwest and us in the northeast . we had a shitty run this year and the midwest was killing it from what i remember. few years back we had it good and they were thin. as far as some warming it was warmer the last 2 weeks of march than it is right now. snow 3 times in the past week. didn't stick or anything but it was literally more than january and colder.
