The problem now at the "Mt. Shasta Ski Park" seems to be that there is presently enough precipitation but the temperatures are too warm to make it snow at that level. So, the last time I checked they had 8 inches to 12 inches of snow with rain coming down. There is snow on the mountain that is building up but I think the snow is likely above 9000 feet and that won't help the ski park which is below 8000 feet.
So, the Mt. Shasta Ski Park still hasn't opened this year which likely is sort of devastating for businesses in that community of Mt. Shasta, McCloud and surrounding areas.
Though the rain is great and will catch in Shasta Dam down towards Redding, the snow pack in the Cascades where Mt. Shasta is and the Sierras is mostly only 10% to 20% or less of normal. So, even though the dams are catching rain the snowpack which is needed later in the year is almost non-existent for farmers growing food throughout the state.
Since California grows 1/3 of the food sold in the U.S. does that mean food could be 1/3 more expensive if farmers in California don't have water enough to be allowed to grow food here?
Also, unlike most states California because of it's nearness to the Pacific Ocean has 4 growing seasons. Most other states only have 1 or 2 growing seasons during the year. This is another factor in making food in the U.S. much more expensive because of the California drought.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
