High Water on its way…….finally??
June 2nd, 2010 by MalinaIt doesn’t take a genius with a degree in meteorology or geophysics or whatever to see that this spring the weather has been WHACK! Hail, windstorms, humidity, rain, blazing sunshine, huge puffy clouds, grey haze and freezing nights. We’ve been seeing it all. And the weeds are LOVING it. Bumper crop of furry-burries, star thistle and foxtails coming your way. (Also vet bills if your animals are anything like mine and like getting pokey things in their eyeballs this time of year.)
Anyway, given all this roller-coaster action in the heavens I hesitate to say anything concrete about water flows and temperatures, but it does indeed seem to be heating up and unless things have really gone crazy and ice has a new melting temperature, that means the snowmelt is poised to begin. Soon. I’ll try to keep you up-to-date on what’s going off where, but for you highwater and adrenaline junkie types this is your moment. At least I think it is. We have lots of snow ready to melt and rush into rivers like the Kaweah (our crew is headed down early for a little extra highwater training tomorrow because we anticipate that river rising soon), the Tuolumne, and the Merced. Our staff in Walnut Creek will have all the deets so give them a ring!
