Sunday Randomness #68 Weather Science Data and straws

This is a favorite link about the weather data for Salt Lake City:    https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=CAR&issuedby=SLC&product=CF6&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0

It's searchable for the last few years-just click on the versions numbers at the top to see the information for a previous month in a past year.  If you go back through the years, it's easy to calculate that we are still in drought mode.  We have not been catching up that much to the levels we really need to sustain our great Utah outdoors, no less all the water consumption we use on both residential and business levels.  Reduce, reuse, recycle.  Water deep and water less often.   Even in the summer months, I try to water just once a week with a deep soaking during the cooler hours.

We've been taking our own containers for leftovers to restaurants for a number of years now and we all use reusable water bottles.   I just got our rain straws from the Kickstarter we supported last year.  If you're interested in a fully washable straw here's the link to their new website: https://rainhydration.com/    We'll have to do a review of the straws on a different Sunday Randomness.
