Papa Jacks High Water Level Contest 2019 (Guessing Has Closed) Winner PapWhit

[Dave I.]

Here we are, June 25 and they are FINALLY predicting some summer like temps for the Northern lake & Colorado area. It has been an unusually colder spring and beginning of summer than usual that I think we will be seeing run-off for a while still. Much longer than normal.
If you look at the snowpack report, the Upper Green is still in the lowest percentage but it's still at 110% of average. But averages can me misleading.

I'm still hoping Hite get's it's feet wet. Only 37.57 feet to go!

Maggie at Hite Outpost did say just 3 days ago that launching with a small boat could be possible in Farley's Canyon.

I looked yesterday, you can see water and North Wash appears to have met the inflow waters !!!! I was down there a couple months ago and NW was above lake level. It looks like it is now even with it and growing, you can see water on the webcam pictures. Keep it coming !!!!

 

[Dungee]

Should be seeing water at the Hite webcam real soon.

Just look for a dark brown color and you'll see some already, its like one of those eye illusions where you have to focus then pull the computer screen away slowly...

Think the flows will continue to perk up?

I just hope you were not 36 in 1982...

 

[WaterMan]

I have updated the results with a lake level rise of 50', 55', 60' 65' and 70' to see were you stand and when we hit these marks. 50' is getting close.

Hey now! I kinda liked being the oldest kid in high school, until I hit 36.

Well I am gathering up the Sunscreen and looking for my Swimsuit as it will be only a couple or three more days before I take the plunge into the rising waters !!! At least I made it until the water warmed. I will gladly take the plunge and I hope many more follow me !! More water for the Lake is a great thing !! It has been fun to watch and it looks like we have a ways to go !!

Sad that a contributor has to take the plunge. Keep your nose plugged as long as you can.
