Somebody on here mentioned the other day that it's been colder up there than usual and that something as simple as slow snow melt due to cold could be slowing the usual flows into the lake. I didn't see that mentioned in the article, only that there were late storms.

Mother nature is so tricky sometimes and it just upsets EVERYBODY!!!

You won't get anymore rainfall around these parts until the fall. There still is quite ab it of snow in the higher elevations that drain into the north side of the lake. very conservatively drawing water down this year.

Had a camping trip this weekend with one of the biologists who is researching the sucker fish in the Klamath. Refused to talk with him about the issue & wanted to see him fall into the fire.

Though the snowpack improved in April, Sparks said, the snow and precipitation came too late. He said any snow that comes after February doesn't help.

"The ground can only absorb so much, so fast, and the rest comes off the surface," he said.

Some hydrologic scientist help me out here: If a new snow falls on top of a snowpack how does that increase runoff amounts? Snow only melts so fast. It seems to me that the snowpack would just last longer into the dry season.

How can it "not help". If there is a problem with water runoff maybe they need more or bigger dams.
