I'm not even putting my boots on, on moral and ethical grounds. Clearing my driveway in April is against my religion.I don’t even want water. I’ll take baby wipe baths and boil Baja blast to make ramen noodles. 12-16” of snow in my driveway.

You have to keep this in context. Many of these reservoirs are currently dumping water so their spill ways are not over run. There is enough water above Joes Valley currently to fill the lake 2.5 times and they are letting a lot of water out right now. They are letting water out of Scofield right now because they know it is going to go over the spillway, but the real problem there is the amount of water that is going to be coming out of White River. If they allow massive spills out of Scofield (which they have control over) while there is massive run off coming out of White River (which they have no control over) there will be lots of flooding throughout Carbon County. I don't know what amount of release they are doing out of Pineview, but the amount of water that is going to be going into that reservoir is many times more than it can hold.Don't blame me because you're not eXtreme enough for ice hill canoeing!

Total capacity at 32%. So, SNOW, BABY SNOW!
Yep. This is why the reservoirs around St. George are currently at higher capacity. They’ve been filling from run-off earlier in the season because their temps are higher.You have to keep this in context.

It is a simple risk calculation. Start too early lowering the reservoirs and end up with a dry late winter and spring (have seen that happen) and we run into water shortages. Luckily not how this year played out.Yeah, not a hydrologist but I don't understand why they didn't start emptying every reservoir we have last month. With the exception of maybe the big ones like Strawberry and Jordanelle, they're all going to get way more water than they need to fill.
Hope they know what they're doing. All that water is going to end up in GSL or Powell one way or another, but I'd rather it didn't take too many roads with it.

Finally got around to framing these old 5.25" floppies that @bobn used to pirate Windows 3.11 on 30 years ago. Perfect addition to my office.
Leave it to Dave to be an even cooler nerd than me. 😆Found a set of 3.11 too, on 3.5 floppies.
Edit: And a set of Windows For Workgroups 3.10 final beta floppies.

That bothers me.Saw this this morning. It's safe, correct?
