how much is on the ground dime?
 

nice....i love a good snow :)

Fichy so sorry to hear about your sister , thoughts and prayers to you and your family coming from me and my family
Take care

Jack, I just got done tramping through the snow for hrs with my kids for wabbit s . We seen 4 , no shots fired. Soaking wet from sweat. Even the young buck kids agreed it was a dumb idea.. Humm can't say I told them so as kids will be kids.
It's been snowing here since I got up at 8 am and I'm sure hoping I don't have to plow again.

Florida is nice but I liked Arizona a little better for scenery .

About a hour ago the snow stopped and a check on the radar showed a little scattered stuff to the west so I got on the clothes started the blower and went to work on it.Shortly after I started I noticed a couple flakes dropping,then a short time later it got heavy enough that I quit and returned to the warmth of the house.Now it's coming down heavy and I check the radar and that scattered stuff gathered together and is a green mass on the screen.Good thing it did n't wait until I was finished or I would really be in a foul mood.Did I mention that.....I HATE WINTER!!
Hey Rich are those rabbits Snowshoes that you went after?

Well nothing but clouds and milder weather here today.   My dad went up to Pulaski and said they got a fresh foot give or take

Yup, Pulaski got hammered yesterday. I imagine it will settle and thaw this weekend for sure but I'd assume no bare ground til April. Was walking through untouched snow in the backyard last night and it was up to my groin in spots

Have to agree jack. This weekend was the weekend of my best steelhead day ever. And it was a warm day that followed a batch of horrible weather. Anyone who allotted time to hit the river the next few days should have action ranging from good to great!!!

The snow in the woods is heavy!   I got just got in. Didn't slay 'em Jack, but did very well. It was a great day!!!!!!!!!!   Fished without gloves and hat most of the day. Very enjoyable.
Full report with pics tomorrow. Thanks for all the weather updates and such guys. I hope the water goes up,  brings some fish in and moves some around. They are holed up in very specific lies.  Water content in the snow is high, it really has settled. The clumps falling out of the trees could knock you out!  Food and sleep time.

Rivers up to a 750 release... north sandy usgs is reading blank due to an ice jam... rain today and tomorrow... snow has settled and thawed about 10-12 inches... hopefully it stays cooler with less rain to the east ... this could get ugly

I just saw the raise, Clint. Yep, some new fish for us  would be great. I did have some luck this time.
I've paid some dues, so once in awhile......  Hope your neck's OK after all the snow removal.
At least you won't have to be worrying about roof shoveling for a little bit. 
 

Well proactive is ok but reactive sucks, compromise is always good..  I really like 500 to a grand this time of year over a 335 min, honestly I forgot it may be 225 min now..  ..
To me a steady 500 is better then an up and down 335-1500... unless it's turn it on shot it off daily thing, which still had me confused.. We take what we get and fish when we can seems to be the way of the SR angler..
I sure hate 2g + flows in April, thats for sure .lol
 
I just hope they don't raise the level of water on the Ice tomorrow :) 
Be safe Folks ..

No. sandy is still ice dammed for cfs measurement but its gone up 4 ft. In gauge height... north branch salmon river must be ice dammed also as it is not measuring cfs either. Fish creek at taberg is rising rapidly. Rain is supposed to be heaviest tonight followed by well above freezing temps tomorrow. Its not looking good. Please be very safe and cautious if venturing out. If ice damming is occurring and eventually let's loose it could result in emergency discharges. Please be safe if getting out on the river.

Rt, don't wanna scare you too much but if your roof is near flat with little pitch and shingle roof opposed to metal; what's happening now is the worst thing that can. The rain adds 10 times the weight to the snow.

Just checked the north branch gauge in red field. In less than an hour the water level raised 2 feet... its really not looking good. I'd say the ice broke ands its all down hill from here. Who's to say what the other feeders of the upper reservoir is doing.
