Commentary: L.A.’s Driest Year — Time to Shut Off the Lawn Sprinklers for Good
From the Los Angeles Times, in a commentary by Karin Klein:
“With no rain on the horizon, it’s pretty safe to call 2013 the driest year on record in Los Angeles. The 2013-14 rainy season is off to an unpromising start. And though we know that the beginning of the season doesn’t tell us much — February tends to be the rainiest month — the bottom line is that we need rain. We need it bad.
“And the record for arid weather doesn’t belong to Los Angeles alone. It’s statewide.”
