I wonder how much snow richland watershed recieved, maybe the rain coming will help make for a late week into the weekend boating up there.

That is what I am hoping for Tmuse, a Friday run on Richland. Hopefully the snow melt will at least keep it at a decent base flow till we get some rain.

Liquid equivalent of snow to rain is 10:1, if it got 5 inches of snow than that is like .5" of rain. I doubt snow melt will make it run. Hopefully I get proven wrong.

I was working the county today and traveled Hwy 123. There is still 4 to 5 inches of snow on the ground in spots out in the timber and more so on the north slopes and shaded areas.

The bump is real. Its snow melt, and with the right temps and smallish rain - you could paddle Richland and it would be spectacular because the water will be clear.
