but there still isn't much of a snowpack on the high peaks and runoff will be sparse, meaning farmers here and in Texas will have a tough time irrigating their crops.

Things have been tough here since the early 90s. It's going to take a long time to reverse the damage, decades of slightly above average snow, and I don't see that happening in my lifetime.

It is sad. However, at least nobody is looking at me funny because I refuse to have a lawn.

Yeah, but you'll have the bugs and humidity to distract you from the heat. SunSeeker Mar 2015 #11
