Title: All of this RAIN !!!
Post by: Shocker_04 on January 12, 2017, 08:37:24 AM
Just saw on the news that California went from being 92% of the state being in severe drought in 2016, to 40% of the state is completely out of the drought in just the past month. That's good news for the entire state obviously, but that some pretty exciting news for all the NorCal and central Cali guys that cant make it to the River as often  :thumbup: and for some of the So Cal guys that just wanna shoot over to the local pond for the day

Dear Mother Nature,

I know we have talked a lot of shit about the drought and the lakes not filling up.  To be honest with you, I am sorry. Should of never doubted you. More rain? All week? 40-50mph winds? You have proved your point this winter. But please, NO MORE! I am done. So sick of wind and rain. So please stop. Give it to SoCal, you know those crazies need it. Thanks

Sincerely an anxious for spring jet boater,
Fordlover

I had to look up Hailey, Idaho. Beautiful, but yeah, that snow would get old. Especially, for someone born and raised in SoCal. The things we take for granted living here.  8)
Hope you thaw out soon.

We get storms that dump 5" of rain an hour. It's awesome, all of our lakes are at or above capacity.

It's pretty big. From what I saw, it's deep in some parts. There was everything from v-drives, outboards, jets, a few wakeboard and a couple poontoons on the water last year. And I swear that boat Sascha was out here too.

Make it stop! Five days in a row! All the gates are open on pretty much all the norcal lakes. Oroville was on the news last night.......they were dumping massive amounts of water. Spillway now has a 45 foot hole in it. Crazy. Oroville is a huge ass lake.

I seen that on my local news and I am about 7 hours away. It's crazy that they knew the spill way was getting washed away but they up'd the flow of water. By the time all the rain stops and the snow pack melts there will be nothing left of it.

So yesterday I believe was the first day of spring. YAY, right? Wrong!!! It is dumping rain up here. Like pounding the house dumping. Woke me up a few times. Jeez. Want to get the boat out and unwrap it to get ready for some run time. What a joke.
