GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users.

 

A while ago I sent out an email about a trend chance in our weather.  Well, it still seems to be true.  Although October started out dry, we have had a whopper of a finish to the month.  And, since April 1st, we have only had two months that were below normal precipitation.  The rest have been well above.

 

October will end up at a minimum of 115% of normal

 

And the snowpack, as of today, for the Great Salt Lake Drainage is 170%

The critical and very dry (for the last ten years) Bear River Drainage is over 180% as of today.

 

Last year, from October through March, we had only 61% of normal precipitation.

 

April 1st through October of this year we are at 107%

 

It’s all about the sun spots
