I am a citrus farmer in Central CA. We are always on the fringe: either the southern fringe of the northern storms, or the northern fringe of the southern storms. We had a very dry and very warm fall this year. We're still below historical averages for rainfall as of 12/10/12, but at least the weather has cooled off...hoping no major freezes for our citrus this winter! We're also hoping the Sierra Nevada's get a good snowpack - that's our summer water supply! Thank you for your blogs!
Good luck on the crop! I love California oranges. It looks like the Sierra Nevada has a fairly good chance of getting a good snow pack.
I've been living in California for almost 20 years (a NH transplant), in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our rainy seasons during that time was pretty consistent. However, just moving up to the Sierra foothills this past summer, we have been bombarded by rain over the past six weeks. The longest duration of the heaviest rain I have ever witnessed in my young 50 years, was about two weeks ago. A fairly dried up pond on our property, filled up to about 10 ft deep within a weekend of this rain. I fully support this pineapple express "business" but now, I would like a big dose of snow, please! Let's bring the temps down a bit Mother Nature!! :-D
Yes, there is less erosion and better river runs if the moisture is stored as snow pack in the mountains. (Not to mention, better skiing!)
