Sig: Normal? Ok, I know that parts of cali are dry but I didn't think of it as being a desert? I think I will look into this more. I'm pretty certain I'm relying on what I think I know about California and this will give me something to do while I'm nursing a cold. Any surefire ND cures for the common cold? This may sounds nuts.....but here goes: 1. Put pan of water in oven, turn up heat so it is steaming. Grab a good onion, (if you can't find one in your location you aren't looking very hard)..... Sit in front of that oven door on a chair, breathing in that moist air and EAT THAT ONION! I know, sounds like a batty idea, but my Grandpa swore by it. The other one my grandma always did, and my wife does as well is Chicken noodle soup. But you have to actually make it from scratch to get the real benefit. There is something in the bone marrow that plays havoc with the virus, but no one is sure what yet.

Ok....to California drought.
Look for the paper published last year I believe, by a Berkley scientist.

You could also irrigate the nose with saline solution The Netti Potand from personal experience - cut out dairy foods, take garlic/garlic oil capsules

I must say Astromet, I don't know of any other forecast out there calling for this recent warm up. Yes, they called for a warm up, 5 -6 days ago, but they were only forecasting temps in the mid 40's. We're comfortably in the mid 60's. They missed the highs by 20 degrees by only looking 4 - 5 days out. You made your forecast 6 months ago. Yesterday, Minneapolis matched an all time record high for the day and we have a real good shot at breaking the record on Friday the 13th. One week ago we had highs in the low teens, Fahrenheit, with February's average temperature being one of the coldest. It's uncanny, your accuracy. Let's hope that you are wrong for 2018 and beyond. 3 degrees centigrade temperature drop would be troublesome to say the least. Again, I would like to thank you for all your time and willingness to make these public posts. You are an interesting and fun fellow to follow. The part I am troubled by, certainly not the warm temps today, is the position of the Greenland High and the Icelandic Low. That along with the California high is driving the moisture stream in an erratic state. The upper mid-west has been cut off from that flow, 2nd driest last 6 months on record. (1880 and forward up here). Need that Greenland high to move. The climate conditions going into these final two years of solar-forced global warming really is the last significant opportunity people will have to do some major readjustments before global cooling sets into place. The problem over the last 25-30 years has been complacency, in part, due to global warming, which is good for the Earth's climate and has led to record crops as the population of the world has increased. However, those 'good' years are coming to an end, and farmers have to prepare in earnest, or will pay a heavy price. That includes the cities of the world. In my view, it is already too late for major infrastructure work to be completed, much less started for municipalities, many of the planners bought into the 'man-made global warming' propaganda, and so, as result, have sat on their hands. That includes architects, city planners, etc., etc. There are consequences for all of that, and the whining, complaining and passing the buck will be fast and furious going into the 2020s when it will be very clear to all that the climate change to global cooling has begun in earnest. Those who are aware of my climate forecast to global cooling had better continue to make plans, to talk to colleagues, friends and family members, because all of them will burden you and others with their needs when global cooling has officially been underway.

Some countries have taken no note of the CAGW 'scare' like China, India and Russia, but have instead used it for economic advantage. As it would appear that there are some countries that are going to have an extremely hard time trying to cope with any forthcoming long lasting cold. UK is one of those as are some parts of the USA. They have destroyed their baseload electricity generating capacity and replaced it with unreliable and extremely inefficient wind and solar power. The result being that not only are they unprepared but their industry has left to the countries taking no note of CAGW. However, there are other countries that were originally doing the same as UK that suddenly seem to have reversed their stance even while claiming to 'still believe'; Germany is one of these. Suddenly there is a rush to coal(well lignite), their nuclear plants have not been demolished merely mothballed. One wonders if they are expecting the cold too.

I have not sold any 2015 crop production to date, as I felt the odds of an actual drought are getting so high that the risk of not selling became almost zero. Besides, at current prices tiz a bit hard to get excited to sell anything except that bridge on the back 40.

Crop Production Code: One normally looks to use the carrying charge of the futures plus the volatility factor to try and lock in a profit on a percentage of expected crop output. For a few dollars you can hedge X bushels and try to work basis as well.
This year, 2015, prices are at the lower edge of profitability, so not a large incentive to price. Why sell for a loss or near loss?
Still need rain to make grain. There is now a large area that is dry. Still early, but looking back at 34-36 atmosphere, as good as I can find, and mid 50's, there are some striking similarities.
Another thing I have looked at is the duration of non-drought years. We are WAY...........WAY......over due for a drought of significance.
Yes, 2012 was a bit dry, but not anywhere near an actual drought.
Last drought of significance was in 88, as can be seen on Missouriboy's temperature charts. No humidity and the temperature soars. WEll, the patterns are seemingly close to repeating now.
Changes to crop insurance had to be done by March 15th. I waited till the last day..........changed what I could to enterprise units and increased coverage for less dollars expended. Looks to me like this one could be a 1988 type in the making.
I can be wrong......and hope I am wrong.......but???
