[pct-l] Water Purification

[Benjamin Racine]

but i would also put a footnote that in dry years you are more
desperate... 2006 we were pretty lucky.  2007 i might've wanted a filter
on more occasions.

i could pay attention to the winter snowpack in order to predict what
the summer would be like.

www.postholer.com  for snowpack

or for that matter... look at noaa's long term prediction.

i got here by googling the phrase "noaa 3 month forecast"
