Poudre CFS -> Feet Conversion Page?

Anybody know where that page has gone that converts CFS to feet for the Poudre?

Scroll down to the bottom of the flows page and click on Poudre River Visual Gauges or go to Poudre Rock Report

Click on flows to get the current cfs from the top graph. Remember to add in the amount that looks like a withdrawal - i.e. the unnatural drop of ~100cfs on 4/24. Then scroll down the page and plug that number into the conversion window. Not totally accurate, but it gives you an idea of what to expect up there.

It seems especially with early season there are diversions that mess up the flow readings.

Stick with the rock report.

Sorry, not sure what you guys are talking about, or what computer is missing. The look has changed, but the stuff you need to figure it out is all still there. Take a look at the 1st graph on the Rock Report page (you have to click on 'flows' once you get to the poudrerockreport home page). If you look at todays date on the graph, it reads 275 cfs. Add 100 cfs to that for the draw that was taken out on 4/24 (see the steep drop?) and that equals 375cfs. Now scroll down to the converter and put 375 in the formula, click enter, and you get 2.2 feet on the rock. Which I'm thinkin' is a pretty close estimate...maybe even closer than gov't. Yesterday it was 1.7-1.8ish and on the rise.

Of course, nothing beats driving up there, getting wet, and seeing the rock for yourself. But if you're wondering what's up, it gives you a pretty good idea.

JBL, the conversion graph is on the rock report site, right here:
Poudre Rock Report

Click on the Flows link at the top of the page and scroll down the page a hair.

No problem. I've been doing a little house cleaning on the flows page so things have been moving around a little bit. Also still need to fix some compatibablity issues and get the rock reports back online. Anyways the site should become more functional again by the weekend, if i can find some time between now and then
