Inflow to Shasta is almost 71KAF. The Feather is running at 49KAF and the american at 28KAF. By way of comparison, the total flow of the Columbia River in a low flow year is 120KAF. <br /><br />The Yolo bypass is flooded again. Many gauges in the Sacramento valley showing concern or flood. Marin County is flooded again. The only place, mysteriously, that does not show lots of water is the Trinity river. Trinity lake still only 62% full - where as most of the other major reservoirs show 80% - and are dumping water at high rates.

After all, it hasn't been the temperature forecast by the NWS in days. They got it wrong Friday for Whatcom and have been getting it fairly wrong (until yesterday). And now again today, they have a "short range forecast" as an alert which just notes that it is still cold. Duh. Enviro Canada is not sure when we will warm up exactly and have been predicting possible snow tomorrow for Lower BC for over 24 hours. NWS changed their forecast just recently along with telling us it is still cold. Overall, I have had to turn to BC to have a clue as to the weather we will be getting - heck NWS won't change the forecast when we are hours into it and clearly their forecast is wrong.<br /><br />I get that the models can be wack when the Fraser Flow is happening up here, but it has been messing up their forecasts since Friday now, and while BC is acknowledging it's potential effects on the forecast early on - NWS does not. Same thing happened for days with that pre-Christmas snow event.Y.

I have waited along time for this type of storm. Snowed all day yesterday, heavily last night into the morning hours. Measured a solid 11" which is the most in 24 hours I have seen in 17 years where I live in SE Auburn. Amazing how just a little elevation can make a big difference in depth with less than half of that at the bottom of my hill.
