Please be aware of the potential distortions on the “eight times” number. At some point in June, the average snowpack gets to zero. But this year, the snowpack will stick around longer. So after that date, this year’s snowpack will be INFINITELY larger than the average. Even if its only one inch left. That said, there will be major flooding risks this year. Although Zonies and Vegazans are breathing a sigh of relief as perhaps Powell will begin heading back up from near catastrophic levels for the SW.
Thanks for the warning on the “eight times”
