Well the snow is over now after dumping 515.25" of snow this past season and we even got snow 2 weeks ago Sat in flurries, and the creeks were starting to come up slightly but this past week the creeks have come up
almost 1.5' and the snow has dropped to less than 2' when it was over 6' May1. Not only the creek but the Chiwawa River is also coming up and it is now filling the pond in back but not so much that there isn't still water in most of the pond. It is getting very difficult to try to walk in the snow because places that were firm in the morning are very soft and you can posthold very easy which isn't so good on the knees for me, even the dogs find it more difficult geting around once it is soft because the nose dive because of sinking in the snow, they are still constantly hunting anything that they see running across the snow or flying around. If we get the warm temps that are being forecast it could become very sloppy very fast, this is one of my busiest times of the year because with allof the snow melting and water coming up there is lots of debris in the water that tends to clog up the screen at the dam which can shut the plant down so I stay close during this time of year, not only that but with this fast warming there can be some slide action which could block roads going in oad out so it will be interesting to see what happens. This is just the beginning of the water coming up even though it is cloudy it isn't dirty which it will become very soon.We found our Paradise, hope you find your's too.
