Spent a few years boating and skiing on Shasta in the summers in the late 50’s early 60’s…I don’t ever recall seeing it anything close to what it is now. Over the decades I have taken many vacations in my RV UP through the area from SoCal…still one of my favorite places. Great memories!

Awesome news! Great to see Shasta full again.
-
Great to see water levels so high. Thanks for a well-done video!

About 35 years ago my family (wife and kids) had a 40' house boat on lake Shasta those where the good old days trying to spend at least 1 full week during the kids summer vacation and many weekend trips

It stores a lot of water, but destroyed the Salmon on the Sacramento River. The first salmon cannery on the West Coast was on the Sacramento River in West Sacramento. I remember years when less than 10 salmon passed Sacramento.

Thank you for this update. It sure is encouraging. We prayed so much for Californias water supply and are grateful to know the biggest problem now is too much water. We will pray for the levels to be managed well as the snow pack melts.

we got the old voiceover guy back!

I'm glad that someone is keeping track of our water supply and putting it into perspective my making videos. s

I can't help but think of the panic during the mega-drought years. No one thought it would end. Then it did. I guess we've forgotten about el Nino and la Nina cycles.

Full pool and spillways running is always a beautiful sight Now we need this kind of news westward to Lake Mead, imagine if Lake Mead could be at full pool (dreaming I know)

I remember the 2 dry winters, 75-76, 76-77.. I moved to Tahoe in 77. I did not realize that was the nadir of Lake Shasta. .I do remember how careful we had to be with every drop of water.

Nice update sans alarmism
-
Nice! this is awesome!!!
-
Let's just remember, now that the lakes are restored, that every single drop of water is precious and that there's not just and unending supply of this natural resource. Careful maintenance and oversight combined with water conservation is the key to keeping the lakes pristine and beautiful. Thanks to everyone who had a hand or played a part in this wonderful news.

Unlike Cincinnati chili, the Hoosier State's version mixes spaghetti (or elbow macaroni) into the chili, and its consistency resembles soup.

You wait until 4:00 to point out that feet of water is not linear with volume, after confusing feet based stats. Bar charts are seldom useful, here useless.

Shasta lake is at full pool. There are trees in the water
