If they are just now putting more shotcrete under the main spillway, they must not plan on releasing any more water for several more days.

I don't know what the cure time is for shotcrete, but it seems that they would be cutting it close. Even though the inflows are down a bit, they're still higher than outflows and the reservoir is still rising.

Lake at 859 cool wet weather the next couple of days....not good since more precip is being added to the basin some of it snow later

light rain falling now....

looks like about 1 inch total at the dam and 2-3 in the mnts.

this should push the 8-station rainfall index past the 1982-83 record

DWR said the last spill should have lasted 5-6 days it was more like 10...DWR said inflow should peak out at 39,000 last storm and fall back to 18,000..it was a little more...and i think inflow wont fall below 20,000 for a while..and will increase back to around 30 in a couple of days

DWR has underestimated many parts of this mess and continues to do so..including saying that lake wouldn’t overflow back in FEB at first
