Warmer weekend temperatures in western Montana have now kickstarted the 2018 runoff, witness our Headquarters’ own Rock Creek which, this time last week, was flowing at 750 cubic feet per second (“cfs”) and which is currently flowing at (a still relatively modest) 1,350 cfs, but, nonetheless, a 75% increase in just one week’s time. Snow water equivalent in the upper climes is yet 150%+ of twenty year norms, so there is still a ton ( read, literally “tons”!) of snowpack that needs to thaw, melt, and find its way down hill and downstream.
But, at least, the process has blessedly begun!!
Stay tuned… news at 11:00.
