The dry January last year forced the South San Joaquin Irrigation District to make an emergency water delivery in mid-January to make sure crops weren’t imperiled including almond trees.This year January was even drier. It ranked as the fourth driest January on record. The SSJID, though, has no plans on making an emergency irrigation run.That’s because December of 2012 had above average rainfall and snowfall unlike a year previously where December went down as one of the direst on record.The snowpack and precipitation was 140 percent of normal at the end of December.
