And now this page is gone!! It was working for a good week now I'm getting page not found error. I have written the webmaster.

Bummer it was a great page to look at!!

I have contacted the webmaster and she actually replied. The funny thing is she sent me a link to the same page saying the page has moved and is now up. I emailed her back advising the page is still not up. Love Gov't employees!
 
I cannot remember the last time we saw numbers in the 200 and above range........ and another storm is looming.......

I'm curious history-wise how is the snow in Colorado stacking up. As of today with this third powerful storm in a row moving through California Mammoth Mountain has officially received the most snow for the month of January ever!
 
Map is working again today - some regions are not 200% and above. And BTW the drainage in SW Utah going to Lake Mead drainage is 169% - 197%.... I cannot remember the last time they had these numbers...
 
The snow water content for all basins above LP is already over 85% of normal for the whole year...with 3 typically wet months still to go! It does look dry for a bit, but I wont complain.
 
Found this today:
https://www.cbrfc.noaa.gov/wsup/pub2/discussion/current.pdf

If the assumption of 9,000,000 ac-ft holds, and they release 25,000 cfs for 60 days straight they'd pile in about 6,000,000 ac-ft of water those 2 months. Assuming the lake drops to 3590' when runoff starts, which equals 10,800,000ish ac-ft; by the end of the run off the lake could be at 16,800,000 ac-ft or 3647' in elevation. I'm sure I'm too low on the release rates, but if they start lower and ramp up higher that might not be that far off. Even if they only keep 1/2 of the 9,000,000 ac-ft, the lake should hit 3634' in elevation, which has been awhile. *Edit, noticed the 9,000,000 ac-ft is from April to July, but I'd guess the peak still lands somewhere between 3635' and 3645' this summer.

Anywho, it looks like things are on track for the lake level to get a heck of a look higher in 6 months!

On their website the BOR states if you have problems loading their map you need to clear your cache and then try again.
 
Where did the snowpack go? In a matter of two days we went from over 200% down to the 120% range??? I know Santa Ana winds started up in CA and AZ and we are under a high pressure now - but that is quite a drop for a few days time.
