Next Big Drop. No, we aren’t’ suddenly in Cataract Canyon, unfortunately. Schools are starting, Rivers are dropping, and Bears are hungry. “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
Currently 67˚F, blue skies and damp. Hewlett Gulch Rain gage says we got 1.22″ yesterday. Just shy of the 1.34″ NBB got in that same half hour yesterday! Lemay and Mulberry recorded the highest in that storm, at 1.38″. It looks like we might get more this weekend, but it’s not looking to be quite as intense. I’ll take what we can get.
