TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 19 - 25 December 2020

Today's graphics are courtesy of Jeffrey Kightlinger, General Manager of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. He Tweeted these two pictures this past week from the Tahoe Basin. One needs no explanation and the other is a Christmas Eve sunrise. 

Enjoy!

I hear Jeff's also a pretty mean cook, too.
