And out in Utah in Cataract Canyon of the Colorado River, the gauge at Gypsum Canyon near Hite stopped reporting last night near a flow of about 8,610 cfs
WARNING: when weather is cold enough to allow ice to form in rivers, these rivers can develop ice "bridges" or places where a layer of ice (sometimes thick) is formed across the river. Just because there is a flow doesn't mean there aren't significant (and dangerous) ice obstructions in the river.
NOTE: gauge readings can be distorted when ice is forming in rivers.
