Officials cautiously estimate water level rise in critical lake: 'It could be a lot less than that; it could be a lot more'. #GreatSaltLake <thecooldown.com/outdoors/great…>

Satisfying
Going back to #GreatSaltLake doomsdayers videos from a year ago and doing an update.
They were misinformed and got it so wrong.
I told you all a year ago these fools would try and take credit for filling the #GreatSaltLake , when it has all been nature's doing. Grifters, the whole lot.
Taking money for his own sprinkler system, corrupt AF.
Return the taxes to the citizens and let nature finish the job.
This would make sense, looking at the history of multi-decade rise and fall pattern of the #GreatSaltLake .
Quiet day for the #GreatSaltLake
Bear river inflows have decreased this week over 1,000cfs, while the Weber has increased by a couple 100cfs, Jordan holding around 2,200cfs. GSL gauges holding steady 4195', while Bear Lake is climbing still, 5919.46'.
Its #NationalShrimpDay today, and we're celebrating Utah's favorite crustacean, the brine shrimp!
Around 10 million birds of over 250 species pass by the Great Salt Lake every year and brine shrimp act as fodder for many of these migrating birds as they refuel.
