Drawdown

Drawdown
Lahontan Reservoir floor exposed by the end-of-season drawdown. On the Carson River, Nevada. The parallel-ish lines result from wave action when the shoreline was at that level. Hopefully it refills next spring!

We certainly have been having dramatic weather swings recently.

This actually is normal for this time of year. You expect the reservoir to be drawn down over the summer, and then refill in the spring when the Sierra snowpack melts. The problem has been in recent years that the winter snowpack _hasn't_ arrived!
