Yah, vette, tons of snow at the highest elevations.
It is the snow below the ski areas that is at rain risk.
Always good to hear from you. I’m posting on the fly
so I tend to miss some stuff.
I guess though, with the unseasonal rains, this year, if the snowpack is less, that the early rains will more than make up the snow deficit. It isn’t particularly helpful though to be being forced to make unscheduled releases from Oroville because of the spillway failure.
I don’t know if you have this website to view, but it covers all the California reservoirs:

Just click on the name of the Reservoir and it opens a huge data base of current and historical water date for that facility.
