Dear Utah

[FMCoug]

I just spent 8 days in sunny Southern California. I come back and it is rainy and cold. You are not doing much to further your cause.

Signed,

I am not very thankful for the moisture we are receiving.

Do you have sufficient for your needs? It's going to be an outstanding year in the Sierra for waterfalls, river flows, etc.

Are you flooding in the UC?

Our cup runneth over. If we get the right (i.e., wrong) warming pattern it will be 1983 all over again.

Does that mean they will need to fire up Bangerter's pumps again?

The historic floods of 1983 nearly drowned the state, and experts say this year could be much worse. They are carefully watching rivers and streams in places like American Fork, Weber, Cache Valley, Logan and Oakley.

While many of Utah's waterways may look somewhat calm right now, give it a few weeks, and experts say they'll be spilling their banks.


During the heavy flooding in 1983, State Street in Salt Lake City turned into a rushing river. In 1983, State Street in downtown Salt Lake City was a rushing river. That flooding came as a result of historic snow levels, followed by a cool, wet spring.

This year, snow survey expert Randy Julander with the Natural Resources Conservation Service says Utah is on track for the same conditions -- if not worse.

"We have every potential of seeing the kinds of flows that we saw back in 1983," he said.

Yes, sufficient. Please stop.

[PaloAltoCougar]

Apparently you folks in Utah have really been paying your tithing. Maybe you should dial it back a bit.

I don't have enough sunshine and heat sufficient for my needs. Can we remedy that?

That is an interestingly-written article...chiasmus meets junior high book report.

So will all this rain help fill Lake Powell again?

[NorthwestUteFan]

For the love of all things holy PLEASE fill Bear Lake to full pool! This may not happen again for 3 more decades!

Three weeks ago when I was in St George the morning low on the first day we were there was 25 degrees. The high the next day was 89. Nice temperature swing! Then it was snowing when we flew out of SLC a few days later.

It was completely ironic that I had to return to Seattle to get warm again...

I don't think that the GSL water surface is near the historic high (elev, 4211-12) that it was in '83-'84, which means that ultimately should flooding occur, there will probably be an outlet destination for water. This won't be any help though when/if streams top their banks, it just means that the water eventually has somewhere to go.

no, that's just what happens when faithful saints pray for moisture.

Are the pumps they built out by the great salt lake still operational?

I swear I am not playing golf unless the temp. is around 60 or higher. Playing in this crap has made all my muscles ache.
