Snows on the wrong side of the continental divide all that blue snow in the map of the second link when it melts is heading down the Mississippi river system not the Colorado. Those reds and oranges on the west side of the divide are bad news for lake mead and Powell. It will take three or more years of record snowfalls in a row to refill lake Powell and a couple more for mead. Those lakes can hold 5 years of water at full flows of 12 million acre feet per year. They have been short by 6+ million acre feet for a decade nearly now.

Lake mead is at record lows
