That’s it, the river has subsided to it’s post season meander. Today we can expect mid 80′s with afternoon Isolated T-Storms. Unless Noah’s floodwaters bless us with some late season runoff, this will be my last post on the Poudre Rock Report. It’s been another fine season. I look forward to “seeing” you all next [...]

Pine View 2.1 at 0530 on 8/1

I admit, even with my Mag Light, it was hard to tell if it was 2.1 or 2.2 at 0-dark-30 this morn, but the water was definitely above the bar. Currently 47.8F, clear and damp, we can expect highs in the upper 70′s and sunny all day. That’s right- sunny!
