Hi all,
Here is an image of the Cheat River basin. This gets at Eric's question about why the Cheat River does not rise when we get a dump of rain in the DC area. The Cheat is on the other side of the ridge. Water here is flowing into the Potomac and/or the Chesapeake Bay.
The Cheat is one of the few rivers in the world that flows from south to north. When we're interested in the river levels, we want to be looking at the rain happening in southern West Virginia and eastern Virginia. Albright is downstream of the Canyon, so we're really interested in how much rain is likely to fall in Parsons, or Elkins, or some other WV metropolis like that.
cheers,
Megan

Sorry could not make it today- training and starting work as a tour guide to see if I like it. It's got intense spring hours. Have fun everyone. Still unsure on race also due to a tour next Friday till noon or earlier. Will see. Have fun everyone. Miss being on the river with you all as this is a good group this year!

I take issue with Xan's use of 10 significant digits. Are we measuring bacteria too?
Hi Todd,
Your right about the bridge calculation. I should have subtracted 10, but for the sake of being in line with the gauge I elected not to.
With regards to the rain variable: I took an aggregate change of the Cheat gauge over the past 3.5 days. As the weather has been somewhat constant according to my limited research I used the average change per hour over the past 3.5 days to calculate the trend. Averages as we all know are problematical but it's what I have to work with. I have attached my spreadsheet that's shows how things were calculated if your interested.
The trend for the watershed is on the rise. My revised estimation still low in my opinion.
Avg Change 0.047692308 Revised estimation for rise (23 hours at trend) 1.096923077 Reading at Cheat Gage 13.8 Revised Reading at Cheat Gage (noon sat) 14.89692308 Revised Reading at Cheat Bridge for Todd 4.896923077

Thanks for the heads up Xan. I love it. You are such a nerd. I am am just as nerdy because I noticed a couple mistakes in your calculations. I have been grading high school physics homework all day today. All I am doing is looking for mistakes in calculations and Xan is my new target.
First mistake is the most preferred reading for the Cheat level is the bridge gauge. To get the bridge reading you must subtract 10 from the online reading. Second mistake is that you forgot a variable. How much rain is going to be in the watershed between now and when we put-in. Also, next time could you please show more of your work and units of measurement so I can give you partial credit?
So from your calculations I have come up.
14.42 ft. - 10 ft. = 4.42 ft. on the bridge
4.42 ft. + 15-45% chance of rain = ?
Here is another Cheat predictor. http://www.keelhauler.org/khcc/cheatcalc.htm. I am not sure how accurate it is but it was developed by a NASA engineer.
John Munell, over the years you have become the prediction master. What do you think?

I pulled data from the Cheat gauge. And did some math for my own guess. Here are the predictions based on current water (gauge) trend and also the trend over the last few days.

Hi, all...
Got a chance to run the Cheat on Sunday. A young lady got stuck briefly in the hole at Pete Morgan's. As she was trying to roll up in the run out, her paddle was suddenly snatched from her hands. The paddle just stood there, one blade in the air, until the ever-graceful Juliana O'Neill cruised by and plucked it out of the water with one hand, like Excalibur from the stone.
While it amuses me to think that a new age of chivalry is upon us --- or perhaps that the Lady of the Lake just wants a sequel --- I think it more likely that a paddlesnake has taken up residence at Pete Morgan's. You veterans may remember a similar paddlesnake attack at one of the infamous "tricky" rapids a few years back, but I haven't seen one on the Cheat since then. Sadly, we never did get that paddle back, may it rest in piece(s).
So make sure the set-up on your roll is good or you could be its next victim!
Enjoy! ;-)JOHN--
