I've seen it snowin' cold in the mountains

but Boulder had 18" Monday and another 18" today. That's enough water for a good runoff I hope.

Heavy, wet, but soooooo peaceful. We only saw two other people the whole way, a couple of hawks and plenty of active rabbits.

Lawns will need to be mowed as soon as it melts with all this moisture.

Scroll down to Reservoir > Maps and Graphs
Then click on Colorado Reservoir Storage Map (percent of average reservoir storage) and a PDF will open with the storage map as of the end of March 2020.

Don't pay too much attention to the % of Capacity number. Some reservoirs are so big that they might never be full. The % of Average is the instructive number for gauging the big runoff this June.
