re: snow
I love snow. The more snow we get the better my rafting trip gets.
There is no real way for anyone to accurately predict what the water level will be on any given day throughout the year, typically the water is at it highest in the Spring months (April-May) then the levels gradually decreases as the summer runs on. The river levels can rise as much as 4 inches for every 1-inch of rain that falls into the water shed and cam fall up to an inch per day when there is no rain. That is until the river reaches -3 on the gauge. Then the river only loses 1/10th -1/20th of an inch per day. There are many other factors which effect the water levels such as snowfall, accumulated snow and ice on the ground, ice levels in the river, frost depth and the ground water table levels.
My goal is a +24 on the river this year, last year when we went is was at +20 we went in 2man rafts...this year I am attempting a funyak trip.
WooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooo!!!!
Let is snow...but it looks like warmer weather is headed our way.
