Crap Snow

Forgive my offensive language, but that is exactly what our snow has been like this year: crap.
We can thank our friend El Nino for this. He has been pushing the jet stream directly into California and then pulling all that warm air and water up the coast so we get really nice weather, warm rain and no snow. (At least I think that's how it works. We watch the weather almost every night and watch the ocean storms swirl around the California coast and then never make it to us.) Which has left us with the worst snowpack in a long time and now there are very real concerns about our summer water supply.

"Well, doesn't all the rain fill up the reservoirs?" Well, yes, it would, if it would just rain. Or snow. Or do anything but be partly cloudy all day. But you know what they say, "It doesn't have to be good snow to ski on it." OK, maybe they don't say that, but the Hoybooks do.

Gayle, "crap" is locker room talk and not very lady like. I expected more from you. :)
