[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]Now this is interesting (to me anyway); Yesterday I was ice fishing on 13 inches of solid frozen ice. Today, I raked my leaves and mowed my lawns.

My daffodils are popping up under the Lindon tree.

Most of the daffodils are 2-3 inches high already!

I don't mind the mild weather but I sure am worried about having enough water for gardening and fishing.
Typically, in February, we get one last good snow storm. Hope that's the case this year too.

Uh huh. Claudia and I just got back from a nice 1.5 mile walk - in shirtsleeves.
As I said elsewhere, I'm predicting the last week of Feb and the first week of March to be a return to winter, possibly a vicious return. The lakes won't freeze again, but we may get a walloping with snow. I sure hope so.

I have my fingers crossed hoping you are right.

I took two semesters of meteorology in college (that was in the late Holocene Epoch) but I'm very much an amateur weather guesser. And trying to guess weather patterns two weeks out is tough enough for the professionals.
Looking at the upper air patterns over Siberia, however, leads me to think there'll be a shift that brings the current East Coast blizzards to the West Coast. Maybe. Hopefully.

I guess we can only hope right now.[:/]

Ya with 202" years total and 67" depth at snowbird is bad news. We should easily be in the 300's at least but nope. Let's just hope we get a hard dump soon or Utah is going to be dry [:/].

NASA is predicting a multi year mega-drought... It was on CNN yesterday

Those liberals have been proven wrong by Rush;

I certainly trust science from a drug addict more than all those liberals at NASA. Now before anyone brings up Al Gore remember he is a politician. They lie every time they open their mouth. Proving a politician is lying doesn't prove or disprove anything.

Well time will tell, I sure hope NASA is wrong because if they aren't, with the conditions we are now experiencing there is little doubt most of us will will not be in Ut in another 10 yrs.
Where would you move to if this prediction comes true? I have land in Alabama, so that is likely where I would go but Alaska also holds promise[:/].

I am also hoping for more snow, how ever I do like the mild temps. I fish Willard a lot, I guess this year it will be on a tube in 12 " of water, at least it will keep the big skiers off the lake.

Why not both[
]. Alaska in Summer and early fall and Alabama the rest of the year. I have coastal property up on POW Island in Alaska. I'm hoping to build and small cabin and split my retirement between there and Florida. Hopefully in about 6 years.
Weather and climate are too hard to predict long term but it isn't looking good. California should start looking at building a bunch of desalination plants or they may be in big trouble if these predictions come true.

Now that is something that holds some promise, my brother in law is planning on moving back to Alaska in a few years, maybe I can work out some kind of deal to buy some property with him, that sounds like something that might just work[
].
My sister lives in Cal, I was just talking to her about this issue earlier this week and brought up desalination plants. Right now they could not produce enough water from them for a fraction of that states population. They would need to have a major break through in technology to make that feasible and I bet the price for water would go up to equal a house payment, if that ever happens. I guess we will have to cross that bridge when we come to it, right[crazy].

What bridges? we wont need any bridges once things dry up! OH hellI hope not!

It surprises me as much as it may you folks, but it's starting to look like I was right: this week and next may see the return to winter I forecast almost three weeks ago.
Those Siberian lows finally shifted, bringing the jet stream and storm track back to the Western US. I hope it brings a lot of precip to us, but I equally hope that the concomitant warm spell doesn't bring flooding to the snowbound Northeast.
Weather is always a yin and yang proposition.

Well looking outside right now it's snowing. Woohoo!!! I like the warm weather for fishing but we need to water so I am not complaining. Plenty of other days to go fishing On.
