5. We are suffering here in SW Colorado

In the Four Corners region we have had the driest winter that I can ever recall. The snow pack up in the San Juans and the La Platas is a sorry excuse when compared to what we normally have. Of course, there is no "normal" and as much as TV Weather hosts want to call this the "new normal," it's more like a speed limit sign that T***p et al ignore as we careen around ever sharper curves as CO2 levels and temperatures rise ever higher.

I live in ranching and farming country and I fear for my neighbors - who all voted for T***p, BTW. There is simply not enough water in the resevoirs to sustain irrigation of their alfalfa and hay crops. We feed a lot of cows today that will be come your hamburger tomorrow. Look for the cost of beef to rise to ever more impossible highs.

Of course this is just a hoax, so no worries. I detest the magats and the republican party.
