Freedomflyer 1,886 Posted April 10, 2023 Supposed to be low 60s today and tomorrow then cooling down Wednesday back into the 40s with 40% chance of rain. Thursday down into 30s again with 80% chance of rain and snow. Winter is not giving up here,the only good thing is it isn't jumping to solid days of 50s and 60s that would cause our snow pack to melt quickly. All surrounding mountains are are at 120%+ snow pack. If it warms up too fast we are going to lose a lot of water really fast. Was hoping for a slower warm up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PROV 1,439 Posted April 11, 2023 Same thing here minus the mountains. Melted quite a bit in the last two days. Still have close to 2' on the ground but going fast. People farther down the Mississippi from us are going to have a lot of problems. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only about 80' wide in our area. You can throw a rock across it. I wouldn't want to live downstream this year (or any other). Good luck 🤞 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck 🤞 There was just a special on , that they are trying to stop the Corps from opening the spillways if needed this year , cause when they do open them the massive amounts of freshwater kills all the fish , crabs , shrimp and oysters , BUT , if they don't open them , then it floods everyone out , Hmmmmmm ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
