Log O Meter showing just how dramatically the flow has dropped over the past
week. Seven days ago @ 2,000 cfs the water level was just touching the
bottom of the Log O Meter and, as you can see, with the current 1,310 cfs
flow, that is no longer the case.
In looking into matters further, I have obtained data on the water
temperature of Rock Creek. As the flow began and the snow melt entered into
the stream flow, over the past couple of weeks Rock Creek's water temp
dropped from a high of 54 degrees down to a downright chilly 45 degrees.
Well, over the past few days, that water temperature has soared back up like
a rocket to 52 degrees indicating that, at least for the moment, snow at the
higher elevations is no longer a-meltin' and that, most likely, the bulk of
this year's runoff has literally evaporated and become a non-event.
Now, just where did that flow go, gang...it seems like it was here just a
moment ago!!
Best to all,
