Waht a coincidence, that's the number you picked.Just had a couple here yesterday from Glenwood Springs that said the cool down this past week (same cold front that dumped 2' of snow in CO) has really slowed the rivers down. Even here in Hanksville, we are only 47 degrees outside this morning. The weather has really slowed down the run off for the year. I don't doubt they will come back up a little when the temps rise and eventually see 3632.40'.
The weather turned the temps down in the high country. They’re coming back up now. Fingers crossed the rivers will also50 or 60 feet wood be great, but today's river flows above Powell at 35,000 cfs are half of last week's and well below yesterday's 53,000. I think our optimism may not be rewarded with 50 feet to 3618 (another 8 feet) -- hope I'm wrong.
Steve, hope rivers can turn on again. No snow water equivalent graph any longer where I look, and snowpack at 1300 percent of normal means little with normal snowpack basically zero at this time. I guess I need to reread JFR's analysis. Maybe my perspective today is way off.
I would be ok 3618.6 but would like to see 60+ft this year and another winter just like the last one.50 or 60 feet wood be great, but today's river flows above Powell at 35,000 cfs are half of last week's and well below yesterday's 53,000. I think our optimism may not be rewarded with 50 feet to 3618 (another 8 feet) -- hope I'm wrong.
