A week of rain (I exaggerate, six days) has lifted our spirits after one of the driest starts to a calendar year on record in Albuquerque. The river was muddy yesterday on the family Wednesday lunch outing, and the cottonwoods looked so happy. The wild roses were blooming, we stuck our noses in them to smell.

And yet….

Lowest on this date since 1996.
  • Percentile ranking of yesterday’s flow: 7 (record goes back to 1965)
  • Lowest flow on this date in history since 1996.
