Yup. And in that state, ironically, this last drought would have been a nothingburger had Jerry Brown of all people, in the 70's, been allowed to finish his father's legacy with just one more strategically placed reservoir.

The objection to that at the time was by the parents of the people who now will not say the word "nuclear" when talking about atmospheric carbon reduction.

I'm hearing that more and more lately, even from the pros.  Must be an imitation thing.  Like Febyooary or Liberrery.

I'm amazed that anyone in Colorado would build anything with a sloped metal roof and not install snow guards to prevent exactly this sort of issue.

Oh they do.  Metal roofs seem to be in vogue in lots of new home construction around here.  And they have snow guards on them.  Nice clear plastic (looks like brittle polystyrene from what I can see) that will bend or snap off when the first good snow slab starts moving.
