The only problem with that is the amount of fuel it would take to transport all that water from one coast to the other. It would be cheaper if those corporations could develop a way to filter sea water that could be used for drinking. Ginger would like that, too.
I’ve been saying for years, if the Keystone people can pipe oil long distances – surely they can pipe excess water – though I started that idea with Katrina. Don’t see why they can’t process the snow into water and feed it to that same water pipe. Then SoCal can leave our NorCal water alone (It’s not that often that we get too much water all at once)

Yah. But this year we have over 160% of normal snowpack, so take your stoopid snow back.

Sounds good in theory and you deserve a statue for that. And you got Duff Dude to do some serious math.
Mother Nature needs to learn how to distribute weather evenly.

North Dakota is also willing to contribute several feet of snow to this worthy project.

How much water does that huge kitty in the background drink?

Great idea but instead of using trains just build a downhill canal and use barges to haul cargo instead of trucks.
