We here in the west (Denver metro) have had many warnig signs of what's to come...increasing number of forest fires (the Hayman was nearly 500k in 2002), drought year(s) w/significantly depleted reservoir reserves and corresponding serious watering restrictions and the worst outbreak of pine beetle infestation in CO in recorded history. Truely, what will our western world look like in the coming dryer weather cycles ahead? Thanks for the reference.

I believe this is the third time since the first of the year that the temperature has gotten up to 65 or 70 degrees and then drop 30 or 40 degrees in a very short period of time. And January and February are not known months for tornados in this part of the country; not saying they don't happen, but this is the second major our break in the last few weeks.3Putthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09636706749004219680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915442507015152354.post-86758322089750884932008-02-05T13:43:00.000-07:002008-02-05T13:43:00.000-07:003putt, I am sure you are used to this kind of weat...3putt, I am sure you are used to this kind of weather.

The old saying wait five minutes and the weather will change, is going to be true today. Record high yesterday, heavy rain today (a flash flood watch is out), possible severe weather with tornados, hail, (dang forgot to put my hail pad out) the temperature then plummets when the front passes through and will have snow flurries. I would imagine the kitchen sink is thrown in there some place. What an up and down winter this has been, just crazy. :)3Putthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09636706749004219680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915442507015152354.post-2796920010087990282008-02-04T17:38:00.000-07:002008-02-04T17:38:00.000-07:00If you enjoy Climate, this is a good read.

"Gauges first installed in the 19th century provide a measure of the flow of the river in acre-feet, one acre-foot being a foot of water spread over an acre, or about 326,000 gallons. Today the operation of the pharaonic infrastructure that taps the Colorado—the dams and reservoirs and pipelines and aqueducts—is based entirely on data from those gauges."<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/2008-02/drying-west/kunzig-text.html" REL="nofollow">Drying of the West</A> - The American West was won by water management.
