If only the day had been like this ALL day….but best not to complain. You may recall that I posted an image of our Reservoir a few weeks ago….it was very low, far too low for December. Today as you can see the water level is much higher. It is still well below the full level and this is despite record rainfall and floods.
For most of the day the sun came and went with wafts of swirling mist for the occasional change….but the light was bright and warm much like a Spring mornings light. So may be we are heading back to spring and giving winter a miss…

You think? Fresh water doesn’t need to take the form of snow! But the oceans have evaporated a certain amount of water, which will fall as heavy rains all through that coming ‘spring’ 🙂

It seems to take an awful lot more water and time to fill our reservoirs than it used to….I guess it indicates that we need to use less

I’t’s not logic? The largest body of water on Earth is our oceans, and it has always been that way.
Refilling our capacity, that be ground water, lakes, rivers or what else comes originally from rain?!
With a future global warming, the evaporation from our oceans should increase? Thus producing more freshwater across the land, whereas glaciers won’t be able to retain their size of today.
In another 50 or may be a hundred years, the cyclus will again turn.
Please remember the Earth has been here for billions of years!
The content of CO2 in our atmosphere have at several ossasions exceeded 7-8 times as much as today, even when there were no ‘homo sapiens’ on this Earth!

You are a regular optimist, aren’t you? 🙂 Although I am afraid you are right. Seeing the weatherforecasts I think you are right… 😉
