Too funny! That is my backyard....Folsom Lake. Every where you see brown should be covered in almost 100' of water. This photo only shows a small portion of the lake. The lake has gone up 25' since that picture and we have another storm rolling through this weekend.

When the water gets that low does the dam still generate legtricity or are you using candles?

We have just the opposite issue here......

Yes the dam generates electricity but more importantly that is our source of drinking water. Send some of the snow our way!

Beer and candles...problem solved.

Is it too late to recover this season as I thought you folks get the bulk of your water from the mountain snow melt?

You are correct about that. The rain helps the lake but what keeps it full is the snow run off. The snow pack is looking so so right now but we are expecting a storm this weekend to drop some.
