Glad to hear that they are forecasting both lakes to rise this year

Sounds like good news! I hope they do get the expected run-off.

Our mountains are having a great year, they already have as much snow right now as they did for the entire year last year and they are what fill Lake Powell so they should be good to go.

Notice that bump in Lake mead right about Christmas...it went up 2 feet within a week. That was when the Virgin River went from its usual 100 CFS this time of year to 14,000 CFS or so.

The main problem will be that those beaches at Mead have not been underwater for several years and are now covered in tumbleweeds and stickerbushes.

We need to start a discussion of the 2011 TIge reunion at Lake Mead. I will do that now.
