"They" said Cleveland would be under a glacier by 2000 ...
Does the part of the Colorado that the Animas etc rivers feed into, does that part of the Colorado feed into lake Mead? I didn’t think so
I’m trying to imagine the amount of snow on millions of Rocky Mountain acres, then the snow runoff, yet Lake Meade will be or is still low?
Seems a bit odd.
Mammoth Mountain has received over 800” at the top and announced yesterday that the season will run until AUGUST 1.
That’s because of GLOBAL WARMING, obviously.
Colorado has 24 major tunnels that move water from western Colorado to eastern Colorado under the Continental Divide... water that never gets to Lake Powell..
No wonder why Lake Powell and others are low / not climate charge.. Front range stealing water - legally with a pen..
Where’s all that water going? Denver?
It’s just hard to believe, on good winters from the amount of snow the Rockies and the Sierras receive... And we still have lakes/reservoirs in the west that are low. There must be a hell of a lot of runoff that’s never captured.
Actually the Animas is part of that drainage. It goes south of Durango and turns west to Farmingto and then on to Medicine Hat and the southeast end of Lake Powell. From Powell to the Grand Canyon and on to Meade and on down the Colorado drainage.
California could / refuses to build reservoirs to properly catch enough of the snowmelt runoffs.. a deliberate policy by the Democrats to create an artificial water shortage = never letting a crisis go to waste.
LA and other cities near the ocean should build desalination plants, thus steal less water from their neighbors. Owens Valley was green, farmed by middle class ranchers until clever lawyers stole their water..
The world’s largest dam removal ( four-dam teardown ) will touch many lives in the Klamath River Basin.. south-central Oregon, crosses the California state line,
Here is a good drainage map.
Water diverted from the Colorado River basin, through trans-mountain diversions, makes up 60 to 70% of the water used by Colorado Springs. Denver, Greeley, Fort Collins and ..

Won’t all this snow end up in the Colorado River?
We are hearing reports that some of Cal/Nev ski places may be open on the 4th of July.
