Rain Dance Please!

The past, present, and immediate future of rain is not looking so good.  Not only for San Diego, but for all the western U.S. We had a record low amount of rainfall for the 2013 calendar year.  There is a good chance that water rationing will be returning unless we have a wet spring.  I have attached links to some good articles and charts regarding our current condition both locally and regionally:

On the positive side, the weather sure has been great lately!
