    Here's thru yesterday, should be the peak. The 169% is snowpack and the 127 is precip ytd, the most this late in the year in a long time. We were burning up here last summer. *

    The northern part of the state is closer to nornal and thats where most of the water comes from so the reservoirs might get some help but probably not enough. The levels in Lake Mead are crisis level.

    * I attach another pic for your amusement and it comes along with a question. Are any of you weather underground stations? I had no interest until i saw this genious hack theirs during the "416 fire" north of Durango.

    I sometimes wonder when i pee in the creek if my essence makes it all the way to LA?

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

    And miles to go before I sleep,

    They must have some remote sensors out there posting the temps automatically, one of them is fixing to melt.

    Another couple of feet for the high country. Most of the upstream reseervoirs are full, the endangered fish have their allocation, the rafters get a recreational run down the Dolores, and the Albuquerque news predicted a summer with low forest fire risk for the first time in history.

    Brace yourselves boys, these next couple of storms look like they have some moisture.

    Cant get there yet. Rumor is that the county will plow the road past my driveway this week. Then i still have a mile thru some timber and steep terrain on a private road. I will try to take an atv in first but i dont think i will be able to cross the creek. Ill be there in the next couple of weeks.

    Another weather report - with pretty pictures. i hiked into the cabin this week, at least another week before i can drive in. One 4' drift might be an issue even then. Old dudes love the weather.
