Spring all the way through June
Here in the West, we’ve had an unusually wet Spring, especially in light of the fact that we’re coming off a sustained drought in this area. Around our home area here in Utah, the Lakes and Reservoirs are almost all full, with the exception of some of the larger ones such as Lake Powell, that will take several wet years in a row to bring back up. In fact, just last week over the 4th of July, we took a long road trip that had us passing lots of Western bodies of water, and we’re happy to report that many of them were still at full pool. The Great Salt Lake is one that we spend a lot of time on, and unfortunately it’s lost a lot of volume through the drought years, so we’re nowhere near where we should be there, but some of our spring months have been massive in terms of our annual rainfall, in fact, June came in at roughly 303% of normal!!
So, the drought appears to be over or at least significantly easing… Now if we can just get the economy back on track, we’ll have plenty to chear about.
