And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
There are only a few times living in the Bay Area where conditions warrant this level of warning from @NWSBayArea.... Please prepare for significant flooding/power/road/infrastructure impacts ahead. #CAwx 1/2/2023"
We'll be fine where we are now - no flood threat. They are holding a lot of water in Shasta to try to fill up the lake. On Friday the Sacramento River through Redding was at the same level as most of the summer, but as you travel south, it gets muddier and higher as feeder creeks pour in. It will be interesting to see how they balance the need to fill the reservoirs with the need for flood control. We'll likely see the weir open in Sutter County this week, if it isn't already, to release water into the Sutter Bypass (all the farmland between Sacramento and Davis floods when this happens). But, I'll be fine where I am. And, no matter what you hear on TV, this kind of weather is normal for California (drought, then floods).
Shasta Lake really needs to be filled. At the start of November, the lake head was almost dry. I don't hold hope for the water managers to balance the inflow to fill the lake and keep water going downstream; rather, I think they will waste the opportunity once again.
It looks like the managers are determined to release +/- 2500 cfs come heck or high water. https://cdec.water.ca.gov/dynamicapp/QueryDaily?s=SHA&d=&span=1month
They'll have a hard time getting it full at that rate of release. (See the graph at the bottom of this page.) https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/ResDetail?resid=SHA
Throw a quarter stick up there, that'll clear off the snow.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're ready to hunker down CW. It looks like things are going to rat-sh*t for the West Coast over the next few days:

Hope all goes well !

With a reach around. That would cause some shrinkage.
