[/quote] Absolutely. I check national radar every few hours. https://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_lite_loop.php Washington state has received plenty of precipitation. It's raining there now. Any problem they may be having is a management/democrat problem. Like California. Bad policies not the lack of resources. [/quote] You do not understand snow pack and snow melt. Kindly read the article and then apologize and remove that flag. Ridiculous! Somehow you may watch weather radar yet have no understanding whatever of weather. Summer water comes from the SNOW PACK in the mountains - just read the blasted article. I've never seen such a stupid post from you! [/quote]
Original Message
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee declared drought Monday for nearly half of Washington watersheds,
as the mountain snowpack that churns through hydropower dams, irrigates our state’s orchards and provides for fish continues to dwindle well below normal.
Twenty days into May, “our statewide snowpack is the fourth-lowest it’s been over the past 30 years,” said Jeff Marti, the drought coordinator for the Washington Department of Ecology.
