troutman Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) It was really cool watching the whole thing, At one point this haunting image came over the moon. The lower left side looked like the moon was sitting in the plam of a huge left hand. Showing and image of what looked like a middle finger, index finger and thumb. With the tips of the fingers being very pointed. Then about 30 minutes later a cool looking color of blue shadowed the bottom half. Very hard to explain. Now the sun is rising as the moon is close to fading away. Edited April 4, 2015 by troutman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we could have seen it but it wasn't viewable on this side of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, things are bad here, and we will take all the rain we can get. We hardly had any snow in the mountains in the north & east parts of the state, and the melted snowpack is where we get most of our water from, so this next year is going to be even drier :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll keep our fingers crossed for rain. When I was growing up we lived outside San Francisco for two years and we had more fog than rain but it did actually rain back then . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 We had more rain last night and today, and it's snowing in the Sierras right now! Yay!Does this help the drought we keep hearing about? (not sure of my geography, I confess) The snow is what we really need. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are along the eastern border of California, and the snow melt from there is where the state gets most of its water. There was very little snow this winter, so every little bit helps. Unfortunately, unless we get many feet of snow in the next two months, we will still be in a critical drought. The governor just instituted mandatory water rationing for residences. But residential water use accounts for a few percent of state water usage. Agriculture counts for 80%, and almonds alone use something like 20-30% or more. It takes about a gallon of water to grown an almond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
