Pleasant Valley reservoir is pretty low right now. I assume LADWP is keeping excess capacity in anticipation of more runoff. It’s supposed to reach 100°F today for the first time this year, so all the Sierra snowpack will be melting fast now…

On the north east over the summit, we saw the .

Flat regions near Ridgecrest had mostly still water that reflected distant peaks.
The West Walker River meandered with snowmelt, and after joining with other tributary creeks, grew to a full and rapid-running river heading down to Topaz Lake at border of California and Nevada.

We have a snow dump in NorthEast that is right near the Swale. Upon seeing it, I wondered is that a good idea? The answer appears to be no. The city needs to deal with this.

This aluminum canoe is being pressed against the trees by the river.
The owner might still get lucky once the Serpent River flood levels come down.
Or maybe not.

Historic could resurrect 'ghost lake' for as long as two years

The storms that filled 's reservoirs and eased drought conditions have quieted, but the melting of the snowpacks they helped revive could cause flooding that lasts anywhere from months to years.

By Adriana Navarro, AccuWeather staff writer
Apr 18, 2023

"The snowpack held 317% of its historical average as of April 12, and local authorities have warned they have only a short amount of time to prepare for a spring runoff from years' worth of snowmelt delivered over the course of only a few months.

"'In the southern , you're looking at about three years' worth of total runoff [that] is now frozen in place up there in those mountains, and it's going to come down into a system which is absolutely not designed to handle it,' Mount said."

Outflow of Little Cottonwood Canyon (Alta/Snowbird above). If you live in those neighborhoods, it might pay to have FEMA flood insurance. Or to add some sandbags before stuff melts.

Looking at the topography in my old neighborhood on Utah's Wasatch front, and all the homes built in rivers/streambeds since 1986 😬
