[Leica] drought in California, Folsom Lake at 15 %

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

That really looks terrible (not your pictures; they document the situation 
well :-)).

Here in South West BC we have had hardly any rain since last spring, and 
it's worrisome. Usually we have trouble finding a single dry, clear day in 
any month from November through March. This year we've had one day of a few 
cm of snow and hardly any rain; at the moment we are just breaking a record 
of 16 days with no rainfall in January. The local mountain here on Vancouver 
Island has just thrown in the towel on this year's ski season. If we get a 
lot of snow on the mountain (rain and fairly cold down here) they might open 
again, but the odds aren't good. Reservoirs are low, and we depend on them 
being overflowing by March and April to get us through the summer, which 
rarely has much rain.

Today was again sunny and about 10?, and it certainly won't freeze tonight.
