style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:maroon'>1. While the
lack of snowpack is a detriment to our water issues and could create a more
hazardous fire season, I personally relish the though of an “open” winter
after the last two, and historically that’s how it’s been (we seem to
run on almost 20 year cycles – see the 114 years of snowfall data at <a
href="http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMONtsnf.pl?id6152">http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMONtsnf.pl?id6152</a>),
because that means we’ll either have more money for projects in the summer
or ‘banked’ for the tough years (we haven’t really created
that account yet – I’m wearing my city council hat now)</span></font></p>
