Of the past 5 years 2018 would be the only one at this stage where You wouldn’t find people asking that old question and it was the one that turned out to be it.

It won't be a 76. Rained up till mid June in 76. More like 1984, cold and dry early on, and I think it continued dry over most of the summer. Used all our irrigation water early on to keep frosts off soft fruit flowers which didn't leave any water for later on.......
Sooo . . .

if it doesn’t rain for two weeks it’s a disaster & the worst drought ever

if it rains for a week it’s a disaster & floods & everyone wants to put in drains & get rid of the water









doesn’t sound like there is much resilience in the system . . .
Yawn.
