Given all the rain and snow in this summer I've been watching the snow pack and reservoir levels for months. The SRP reservoir levels have been boring since they've been pegged at 100%.

Just in the last few days has it dropped to 99%. But now we're getting weird early monsoon storms.

More rain in yesterday. SRP reservoir system at 95%, Roosevelt at 98%. The only thing not in the 90% is Horseshoe which is at 74% and there's probably plenty of runoff to come.

At the VNSA book sale in … so many different kinds of dictionaries!

There's more snow in Northern , rain across the state. The Salt River reservoirs are at 81% and Verde at 70%. There was even thunder and lightning with last night's storm. NOTE the snowpack increased since my Feb 7 update.

Roosevelt is at 73% (up from 69% a few days ago). It's snowing in Flagg, there's snow pack up north, looks like the Verde reservoirs (currently 60%) will benefit the most from that melting so far.

So, it's snowier this year ...

Sadly the owner of the bookshop on Mill Ave in Tempe has passed away. Their inventory is for sale this Sunday, Jan 15th

It’s cooling down in and these guys are increasingly snuggly.
