We’re headed into the second dry year in a row here in California.
That’s according to UC Davis environmental engineering professor Jay Lund. The whole West Coast has been locked into a drought that started in 1999. It’s called a megadrought. The “March Miracle”, enough rainfall to get us ahead, never happened. 90% of California is locked into drought conditions.
The snowpack in the Sierra, responsible for much of the state’s water supply, never materialized either. It amounted to only 60% of the average last month.

It looks like one of the Bay Area’s longest running county fairs is on this year.
The San Mateo County Fair is ON this year, after being cancelled last year for only the second time in it’s 87-year history. Fair organizers were playing around with the idea of a drive through fair, but that plan was quickly scrapped, thanks to the county’s new orange tier status.
Masks will be required, maximum capacity will be 25% and tickets will only be sold online to maintain the 25% capacity limit. The fair will run June 5-6 and June 9-13
