Natural fireworks

January 03, 2019  •  Leave a Comment

If 2018 had a "greatest hits" list, the amazingly abundant amount of precipitation we "enjoyed" had to be right near the top. This was, as I lamented often in years past, in sharp contrast to earlier times, during which rain and snow was conspicuously absent and drought was too often our lot. The "d" word was certainly not in the 2018 forecast and 2019 dawned monsoonal, with more than an inch-and-a-half of too-warm rain in the gauge. Once the sun came out, it was possible to marvel at nature's precipitation gifts, these entirely liquid... so far. At the Potter Hill dam nearby, there was considerable celebration, with an abundance of natural "pyrotechnics"... and an extremely high water level giving voice to nature's enthusiasm.
