Monday, tidings, fellow Extravaganzers!!
Well, things are a bit active on the Montana Extravaganza home front, as shown by current Rock Creek flows which are cooking along at a whopping 3,750 cfs, significantly higher at this point in time than any other of our eleven other charted years. Below is a link to an article in today's Missoulian (Missoula's local dispatch) talking about the Clark Fork of the Columbia River (which flows right through downtown Missoula and into which both the Big ["A River Runs Through It"] Blackfoot and Bitterroot Rivers deposit their runoff) reaching record-setting flood stages.
Current SNOTEL records of the Natural Resources Conservation Service show yet 150%+ of snow water equivalents in all western Montanan mountains and what with Missoula's ambient temperatures forecast to rise into the mid to high 70's in upcoming days and with May typically being the wettest month of the year, hang on to those knickers, as there is gonna be a wet time in the ol' town by week's end!!
This is all good for those who have an aversion to bussing over to the Missouri River, but that jury is still in deliberations and will not render its verdict until June 1st.
Best to all in the runoff of it all,
RCR---<'///:><
