Anyone know if the past few days of rain have raised water levels in the state significantly or at all?

Hope so!!!!

According to FOX news

SRP will be cutting water allotment in January by a third
Said something about a business is currently allowed 3 acres of water and it will go down to 2
This is only the second time they've done this since the 1950's
It will take double then average snow pack this winter to bring the state back to normal

Keep in mind this drought has been going on for a long time
We had those three months of steady rain November 2000 - January 2001
which made for an incredible wildflower season
but things were bone dry for years before and since then

Here's a June 12th photo from 2000, Bartlet Lake was down 30-50 feet

I believe the water level is noticeably down in this photo
