... now they are saying they are going to clear more debris before they start the power plant again..this is a change since yesterday

How soon until snow packs melting's a big problem?

it all depends on the weather

last year at this time the lake was 780 feet and it topped off at 890...

its 851 right now with record snowpack upstream

they better hope for a dry cool spring

In my opinion the best the power plant can do at 14,000cfs is keep the lake at its current level with out anymore rain and a long cool spring and summer

its obvious they are going to have to use the main spillway again the question is when

the dry spell is over... no precipitation the last 12 days,,and inflow is still 10K without snowmelt

...I don’t see any huge storms more like moderate/typical storms every so often the next 10-14 days starting ...well right now
