We don't open that thing very often. It's the only manually operated gate in the system. Sometimes it's hard to get it closed again.

We're talking about a snow pack that's 150 percent of average, and it's mostly still up there. Usually by this time, a lot of the snow is gone -- but we're still adding to it.

The storm that's coming could bring heavy rain for about 12 hours, and that could impact the whole Delta. All that puts a lot of pressure on the levees, and that's what we're keeping an eye on.

It's looking pretty good. The storm has moved on to the coast, Southern California - past us.
