October was a welcome water wonderland, but November was pretty much a dry bust for the Golden States. Was California’s wet October a sucker punch to the state’s all important reservoirs?
“Historically, 1976, which was historically dry, started off with a wet October, so we’re not counting our chickens yet,” said East Bay Municipal Utilities District Public Information Officer Andrea Pook.
Ski resort conditions tracker SkiCentral.com, says of the big 25 California resorts it tracks, only three are open and on a very limited basis.
Mammoth, the most active, has 40 runs open which is only a quarter of its runs. Boreal Mountain has two runs open; 6% of its runs. Alpine Meadows has two runs open; just 2% of its runs. The rest, closed for now. Ski resorts say, December through February are their big snow months.
