Took advantage of gap in storm arrivals to update reservoirs-plus-snow diagrams thru this morning, at cnap.ucsd.edu/storage_in_sie… A lot of snow water up there (e.g., attached figs)...Lets hope that it comes off & into rezvrs in an orderly manner, later. @CW3E_Scripps @DroughtGov

Start-of-Dec-2022 updates of reservoirs-plus-snow storage estimates in Sierra and Upper Colorado, available at cnap.ucsd.edu/storage_in_sie… . Not much snow in Sierra yet. Tahoe sums to barely above rim storage while Yuba is near norm. UCRB playing catchup. @DroughtGov @CW3E_Scripps
