I mean it makes sense. We'd probably need yearly rainstorms like what we're seeing now to really make an impact, right?

The Salinas river valley is now the Salinas lake valley.
Almost no one can leave.

Snowpack in the mountains -- if my enviro science class knowledge serves me well -- is good because it means that reservoirs are replenished over the summer as snow in the lower altitudes of the mountains melts off and flows down river.
No snowpack means the reservoirs aren't continuously fed and thus any fullness will likely only last us this summer at best.
I'm sure I'm incorrect somewhere, so if any environerds wanna chime in, be my guest.

I bet some mad scientist is going to invent a transparent, skin-tight suit that survives outer space for this reason specifically.

Sweet, sweet.
Hey, just checking, we're ending year 4 of this pandemic, correct? An entire debacle caused by slow, ineffective responses to COVID similar to the slow, ineffective response to a possible source of major reinfection of the population of the EU we are seeing now?
Cool, coolcoolcoolcoolcool no doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

Oh boy, do I get to look forward to seeing "the Solar system's first" a lot more in my lifetime? That sounds fun.

I got alerted about two seconds BEFORE I even felt the shaking.
