I guess we won't have to make a decision to drain it, it will just drain itself.

Do you water your lawn? If we were really sad about it we would make changes.

How much can be attributed to fireworks too?

Think of all the water wasted to fight fires caused by idiots with fireworks.

It’s fine. CB tells me KSL is always overreacting to drought and snowpack.
