Melinda (Mel) Peterson we depend so much on our snow pack to drive our hydro electric dams, we are still way below average in the Cascade Mountains. The rain is just a factor we live with in both Oregon and Washington but we still need snow in our mountains...

Mel, there are folks in my area that have no water. The well is dry. They need to dig new wells and get creative in how they get water.  Those on wells really do need to consider the drought even more so than those who are not.

Mel,

We are expecting rain on Saturday and Sunday.  As we drove into town, we noticed very little traffic on the 101.  It is as if everyone is staying home...We love that it is going to come down here.  A

Hi Mel - I share your delight when it snow here - pretty much all of our water (as well as much of Arizona's and southern California's) comes from snowmelt, and when it doesn't snow in the winter, we're going to be affected.

Mel, I think I remember that graphic from a high school science class! I love it! I know you guys out west really need the moisture, so as you said, Let it Rain.

We're expecting some rain over the weekend, on its way from up north. I don't like it, but we certainly need it.

Hi Mel, I think that there is going to be a lot of rain in Napa Valley this weekend - too much rain - it feels as if the earth and our atmosphere is so out of balance!  But enjoy the watering because I know you need it! 

Mel, I'm SO bad with graphics! Thank God I can hire people for wells and septic! And I've found some good ones, as water rights are huge around Birkenfeld. 

Those poor Californians, if it's not one thing, it's another. 

Melinda (Mel) Peterson I sure hope some of that rain makes it way down to us here in California. It's looking like it's going to rain here finally, I just hope there's enough left for us.

Hi Mel -- nice tie-in with a real estate question that is important for your area.

As others have commented, "they"(as in meteorologists) say we are expecting some rain this weekend but it's currently 80 degrees and sunny as I write this comment. We can hope but I don't rely on their predictions.

Mel I barely passed Earth Science:0 That chart got me:) but in simple English Echoing  Jeff Dowler CRS  send it our way...if you sent it to Santa Barbara maybe Ron & Alexandra Seigel  could send it our way next, Endre

We have had a very wet winter. It seemed like all of November and December we were under one big rain cloud. It's been nice to have some relief.

It's always shocking when I hear about a drought in the Pacific Northwest.  Having grown up in Puyallup - my memories of sunny days seem so few.  I love the colorful table you shared to illuminate your point.  Have a ...rainy spring.  Gotta love those daffodils.

TNB, I was hoping to hear some theme music from a steam calliope in the background to complete "The Water Cycle".

I grew up on the West side of Washington State and know all too well how the water can impact everything from well water, to floods, to mud slides.  Now living in Utah I always joke with my dad to send us some of the rain ....  we need some send it our way!  

We are in dire need of moisture but to be honest I'm enjoying our 70 degree days and bright blue skies.
