If you look out to Monday and Tuesday, there's already a good chance of all-day rain being forecast.... maybe that's what we've been waiting for.

late April was more wet than the previous 6 weeks total. The overall pattern still looks warm and dry. If nothing else, maybe we'll have an active, wet, monsoon season.
Snowpack? LOL when did that happen? Any snow that we had blew away.
You're just a tool that probably lives in Boulder or something....go outside and see for yourself dumbass. I'm at all of these places EVERY DAY. Looking at RMNP right now. You're clueless.

that's not so much a graph as an obituary
Basically, we are on track for a snowpack extinction by Mid-May. About 1.5 months earlier than normal.
Basically confirms that snow will be dunzo in a week; by June 1st the latest. Crazy seeing how the snowpack didn't peak until May last season.
Yep, I'm the tool. :rolleyes2
A good percentage of your posts on this forum are just lashing out at others in some weak ass macho attempt to seem like a badass, but somehow the problem lies with other people. I just don't get people like you and I'm kind of glad I don't.
You yourself said there will be a runoff. I quoted you on it. I said in my initial post that there would be a runoff but it would peak sooner and much lower than typical and that was enough to get you to go off on a rant. We get it dude, you're so fucking core the rest of us just aren't worthy.
Peak flow on most free flowing rivers in the Upper CO River Basin this weekend? Given the amount of snow available for runoff, the weather over the next two days and current river levels, it's looking very possible.

Wonder if Ten Mile Creek will hit 250 cfs?:frown: I may bump my way down the Officers Gulch section this weekend just to say I did it and laugh at how pathetic it all is.
At least I won't have to worry about getting my feet wet when I'm mountain biking through the creek crossings around here.
Up near the Curtain Ponds at Copper for the upper section (class V-), at the Officers Gulch bridge for the middle section (class IV-) or at the Main St. bridge for the town run (class III). I usually use 350cfs as a minimum flow on the middle section and it typically sees a peak around 700cfs or so in average years. Last year it ran at 1,400 ish for about two weeks.
what is the creek that flows on the other side of the ridge from the Uneva Basin all the way down to the Main St Frisco exit?
The salmonfly hatch on the Upper C may actually occur with decent visibility (if it happens at all - no idea how the flows will affect it and I didn't float that section back in 2002 to know). If it does happen, it may be the only bright spot in the shitty float fishing season this year.
I imagine we'll see a lot more CO plates than usual in the Dutch John area this summer...
Heard it was snowing right as ABasin closed today...how perfect. And a forecast for 4-8" over the next day and a half.
The snow was awesome from about 10am to 2ish, then they shut down due to lightning danger.
Didn't see any snow related reason they couldn't have gotten a few more weeks out. Snow at the base was fine. The pond hadn't even really formed at midway.
Abasin had several dirt spots showing down low and it was pretty empty skiing wise on Sat.
after not getting anything yesterday evening or overnight, it started raining here around 11 and rained all day basically. Some snow mixed in on the valley floor and snowed pretty good up high but not much accumulated even up to 11k. Good moisture day!!
The Elks look white again, so that's kinda cool... still would need to snow from now until the end of the month to get anywhere near normal.
