Yakdaddy’s River Ramblings

My journal of river runs and repository for the various water related thoughts of my oft distracted mind…whitewater from my perspective.

Oh what a glorious morning!

What a great 24 hours for boaters in the southeast!

In case you weren’t lulled to sleep by the sound of rain on the roof last night, Here are two screenshots to that illustrate why:

Yesterday’s observed precipitation from water.weather.gov 1-10-2008 observed precipitation from water.weather.gov

Notice all of the yellow, orange, and red around the Tri-Cities, the Smokies, and the Wilson
Creek/Watauga watershed!

A screenshot of the USGS current streamflows versus historical from the usgs waterwatch  water.usgs.gov)

Current (1-11-08) Streamflows from USGS 

Notice that the dots are mostly green and blue now.  They’ve been red to orange for a long time…

Too all the boaters headed out to ride the white lightning today and all through the weekend – here’s to dry hair and good lines!  (Hopefully I’ll see you on a river Sunday)

Yakdaddy out.
