Steve,

You were asking about the snow packs earlier. Here is the report from todays paper. Now this is the Mt. Shasta Ski Area and really doesn't contribute a lot to the lake and river, but the Sierras are much higher and have more snow. The snow at the bottom is now 190"and at the top it is 23". If the expected storms come, they could reach 500" there before the Winter ends. That sounds like a lot but after 5 years of drought it won't do much and as I said, most of the water we get comes from the High Sierras. I haven't seen a report yet on what they have up there. But based on this I am betting it will be in the 30 to 50 foot depth range.

Ron
