Tune in to the 10:00 news and you get an idea of spring in the high country!  5-6 feet of snow in the last week in some areas!  Unfortunately a chap died in an avalanche.  We are in the Lee side on the Front Range only about a short foot of snow but about 1/2 inch of water.  We need it!  March and April are our heavy snow months, but I have seen 3 feet of snow in May! Kind of rough on the tomatoes!!
Stay safe!

Yep, we have had lots of the white stuff this year. Got another 6 inches on Thursday and now it is raining.
Gonna have a snow shovel in one hand and an umbrella in the other.

Just starting to turn here. Today is supposed to be 3 degrees above freezing. First time this year. A slow melt would be good.
Thanks Leroy

News Flash!  I just saw a tv blurb showing Topeka, Kansas police arresting the "groundhog" for falsely reporting an early spring - official charge is "weather tampering"! >:D (lol) (S).  Looks like we could get 5"-10" Wed. & Thurs.  we need it, still "abnormally dry" or worse over much of the state.

its still pretty white around here.
although the ice is getting too bad to fish on and most of the ice has left the local river .
calling for high 30s most of the week and a possible 60 on Thursday then back to 40s but hey ill take it.
