Unless it’s the only monsoon we get between now and October, Guy. The winds that brought the rain closed the ramp on the Temecula lake Thursday. Too bad, level was up again and we were ready to rock. But at least I didn’t have to water the lawn here.

Tom, your longer view is significant, given the computer models relative to El Nino have only been around for about 25 years. I’m with you: hope all things.

George I have only lived in SoCal for nearly 70 years and during that time period the weather cycles have never varied; every year is different!
Raised at Big Bear lake during the 40′s to mid 50′s the lake level dropped form full pool to 1/4th it’s full pool size; 72′ at the dam to 21′ in 1958 low point; long drought periods are common. The winter of 1968 the lake filled to full pool in 1 week of storms…El Nino?? It stayed dry agian until 1983 El Nino ( 1st time I heard the term)and there has been a few between then and now. So lets hope the predictions are true, as we live in a dry weather zone in SoCal.
