any smog yet?
Always. But seriously, it hasn't been as bad the last couple years since they mandated all public school buses have to comply to a pollution standard and have seriously cracked down on dust pollution from job sites.
http://www.wunderground.com/US/Region/Southwest/AirQuality.htmlCurrently we're getting some nice relatively mild spring weather, it hasn't been an early start to summer, yet. So we've been getting steady streams of days mixed with clouds or clear skies, weather in the 80s most days, and mild winds whenever we have them (either coming/going offshore, so some cool breezy days, and some very comfy breezy ones). It's been overall a great winter and spring for us, the reservoirs are about full, and the mild weather hasn't caused the snow to melt much yet. It's shaping up to be a great summer in the mountains and for water supplies, short of a massive and unusually warm storm front comes rolling through that will flash-melt most of the snow still on the mountains, then we might have to open up some spillways and flush the excess away rather than utilizing it as a steady runoff to keep the reservoirs nice and full through the summer. Probably a good year to plan a summer vacation out here, I don't think (*knocks on wood*) it'll be outrageously hot.
