I thought the worst case scenario is a late season warming closer to June where the sun elevation is high enough to melt all sides of the mountains and not just the south side. That is what happened in 1983. My understanding is that they do want some melting to occur now to, er, flatten the curve.

Just heard that the water is bumper-high on US 89 at Thistle junction. The road’s closed but apparently some people decided to give it a try, with predicable results. Some people who lived through the death of that little town are probably experiencing bad déjà vu moments.

Trying to cross the flooded roadway is a “Face of Death” trick.
Not good.
Why these folks don’t stay away from this area is a real head scratcher.
There are people in that community who think their Ford 250 is invincible.
