NeeBee, the cold mentioned ^^^ just broke. It was 48 f today. I heard Great Falls had a 56 degree change in temp over the last 24 hrs.

Big Arm on the Flathead is an exceptional place Walleye. How're the waves in this wind?

Checking in...
That situation in Oroville has me concerned.
That spillway is done and the reservoir is 90%+ full with more rain in the 10 day and months of the rainy season to go.

According to Howard, snow shovelers are making over 30 dollars an hour. Wow..

They say in Meteorology that the 3rd or last storm in a series is often times the biggest. This series may not be an exception….as Mammoth Mt apparently is in the Bull’s-eye sights, for this last storm in the series…..

Snow-plow driver are weary. Not only do they have a schedule to keep during storms, but in-between storms they have to create snow storage for the next storm. Many are so exhausted working around the clock that they are numb. We have a man power loader driver shortage. There are opportunities now, for some, that want to work in Mammoth, that knows how to drive snow removal equipment. We also have a big-big shortage of snow shoveler’s. Many are making at and over $30.00 per hour. Got shovels? Call any of local roofers. They are looking for bodies to shovel. One more issue….You will also have to find a place to live which is a challenge in itself.

This winter has been a major challenge, as not only is Mammoth out of snow storage, but the designated storage areas yesterday, had ramps weakened so badly by moderate rains over the lower elevations, that they were unusable. Now a small storm for Friday has turned into a big storm for the town. We all have to deal with one more.

John M...i heard 50 an hour which i find hard to believe...There are several roof failures happening this week......Some of the 2nd home owners are clueless when it comes to getting snow off of their homes and some just don't want to pay the pricey snow removal fees...Happens every time big snows are followed by rain.. There's not much snow storage due to the build out of Mammoth... small lots with large trophy homes where you can look into your neighbors house , don't leave enough room for snow storage...Then there's shortage of transient workers who quickly find out that Mammoth wages don't cover the cost of living here... Von's check out lines run out into the Sherwins because Von's can't find workers...The old adage that there's someone else waiting to take those jobs isn't always true...

Thanks to the flow of warm air & spittle rolling up from California, it's raining up to 9,000' in south Idaho & at lower elevations the rain & melting snowpack are flooding fields & closing roads. Rivers are flowing at all-time highs for this date.

Heidi & I managed to get her pickup out of our gravel-drive morass this morning & drove into town.

Choss Creek wasn't the highest I've ever seen it, but it was close.


This little diversion dam was looking somewhat overwhelmed.


The large waterfall at center is 10-times larger than normal & I've never seen the other waterfalls before.


Our shared gravel road didn't quite wash out, when we caught an inch of rain on snow on Weds. night this week.
