The snow situation here in Colorado is still far from being encouraging. Wyoming is faring a bit better which at least suggests that a Yellowstone trip is still a definite possibility. However, here in our local area, the snow is still severely lacking. Here is a picture I took last Saturday. The lower valleys in Rocky Mountain National Park do not even have any snow. The peaks have some but nowhere near enough.
While the snow might be meager, the howling wind and blowing snow is keeping the highest elevations locked in winter's embrace. The following pictures were also taken this past Saturday. Snow was blowing along and off of the mountain tops by strong northwesterly winds.
A storm is at least possible this upcoming weekend. We need a lot of moisture this spring to avoid another bad fire season here in Colorado. While I am ready for warmer weather and lots of open water fishing opportunities, I will be glad to wait for more snow before the warmup starts.
Amen, David! As much as I hate lots of snow and cold weather keeping me indoors during a rough winter, the offset, which is having too little is not something I am looking forward to.
ReplyDeleteMel, I'm getting more and more hopeful about this weekend's snow potential. Let's hope is not another bust and we actually get some decent moisture.
