What's the 411 on Utah flooding this year? I remember the floods of 1983. Things started warming up pretty good in April.
Here we are in May, and the warming has been slow--maybe too slow and too wet. The later it gets, the greater the odds it'll heat up fast.
If I was still down with the Engineers, I'd have a much better handle and intel on this but I don't. So what's the skinny?

River flows are high, but not yet to max (Provo River is just above 50% of max right now) But some communities are preparing with sandbagging. And I think many reservoirs are releasing extra water now preparing for the crest of runoff.

Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostYeah, we had a crazy amount of snow in '83. I recall we only went to school like four days in the entire month of February and the rest were snow days. This was in Idaho, however.
I refused to wear galoshes, though, so I ended up changing out of soggy tennis shoes into moccasins in the classroom.

Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostI remember the floods of '83 myself. Does Utah still have those pumps on the Salt Lake? It was pretty cool when state street turned into a river:
Didn't the mountains get some more snow last night?
Also, I helped sandbag for the State Street river back in '83. My favorite part of the video was the clothing people are wearing - the tube socks with stripes are so awesome. The 80s was such a great decade.

Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View PostYes, the pumps are still there on Hogup Ridge but they are "mothballed", which means it's doubtful they're in working order and would probably be expensive to get them back into working order.

I may be small, but I'm slow.
