from dmatt's forecast:
Very impressive.. now let's hope it doesn't all melt at once.As of this morning, Mammoth Mountain reported 589 inches of snow for the season. The magic 600, and the highest snowfall in recorded history, is just around the corner.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I was looking at the dam data lately. Looks like most are open 5 times normal for this time of year. I guess a great levee test.

Can you look and see what the levels were in 96-97 when we had the floods?

Possibly worse than '96. Was on a DWR conference call earlier this week where comparison to '82-'83 was brought up more than once.maverick wrote:Rlown wrote "Very impressive.. now let's hope it doesn't all melt at once", you got that

where comparison to '82-'83 was brought up more than once", that doesn't sound very
promising, '96 was bad enough.
