I realize it is warmer here than what several of you experiencing (It is 11 degrees F/ wind chill "0")....I can't even write the word 11 without thinking of this:

Colorado just got through a fun cold snap. Yesterday was -7 to 4 out. Up to 27 right now, and 40s for the next few days. Was up near 80 at the end of November. Our weather is always schizo.

We've had 5 days now where it never broke freezing so far this month. Usually we see that every other year in Feb and our December is 40's/50s. I hope the weather pattern changes soon. Otherwise I may file for Kentucky Eskimo Association recovery.

Supposed to get 1-2" last night, basically got nothing as it went north. Supposed to get 1-2" tomorrow while people to the south get 6-12" and I'll bet we get nothing again. I swear there's a deflector shield buried somewhere near me.

I really doubt this has gone national yet, but I'm closely watching the spillway at the Oroville Dam in northern California. It's the tallest dam in the US, and the spillway has a serious erosion problem that chopped it in half. Now the spillway which could originally handle 250,000 cubic feet per second of water now can barely manage 50,000 cfs.

The inflow/outflow differences in the following link are concerning to me. In the press release they stated that the outflow is around 70,000 cfs, but the inflow peak yesterday was 190,000 cfs. That's quite a difference - the lake has to be rising - right? The emergency spillway is only dumping 10,000 cfs. What's happening with the rest of the water? Is emergency spillway erosion going to push southeast enough to affect the dam?!

God, I refreshed that cdec.water.ca.gov page and it now states the inflow for yesterday was 127,000 cfs. I had that window open earlier this morning and it was showing 195,000 cfs. I know it states that the data is preliminary, but they were off by 75,000 cfs. Or were they? Who knows.
Edit: image, because why not. This is what it looked like when they ran tests down the spillway.
