We have had so much rain and snow here in Arizona, our empty lakes are full and they are running the salt river again... The roads that have bridges crossing it are plugged solid now as the others that dont have bridges are uncrossable now. The water is flowing out into the middle of the desert.
Right. And the snow on the N. face of the White Mts will exit via the Little Colorado, bypass L. Powell, and go directly to the Colorado into L. Mead. This is tremendous news, long awaited. BTW, have you ever seen one of the rare and spectacular sights in the US -- the slurry-mud cascading over Grand Falls between Leupp and Sunset Crater? A well-kept secret, hard to get to, but not to be missed. It should be occurring right about now, as snowmelt fills the Little Colorado, and continuing through April.
