and now they're up to 11,075,801 acre feet.

12,009,924 af. slowed down quite a bit the past
few weeks with very little wet weather, but they
still have a ways to go yet.

the El Nino shift has happened only once and then
it looks like it has shifted back again. a few more
weeks? dunno...

the Folsom reservoir is spilling water because it
does need to be used for flood control. this is not
a bad thing because that increases water flows to
the delta and that means they can pump more water
from there further south or in the intermediate
reservoirs. so not all of that water is actually
wasted. and i'm sure the fishies and other river
and delta creatures appreciate it too.

the snow pack is now below average, but still much
better than what they've had for a while. just hope
they get a few more good storms before the season
ends. months away yet.

in other areas the upper Colorado River snow pack
isn't bad, but the southern part may be a bit grim.
more storms will help there too...
