High River and Impact on Season?

Looks like the gates on Steele Bayou were finally opened this am and it is finally fallling.

The crazy thing is that it basically has not rained in a month down here. It was the same during the 2011 flood too - no rain while the water was up.

It's not the local rain that makes the river levels jump for any length of time. It's what is going on to the north that affects us down here. For example snow melt or major flooding up north makes or breaks our levels.

I'm aware of that. I was saying that both now and in 2011 there was basically no additional local rain that would have filled the bowl in even more.
