Springtime in the Rockies

I was in the weather business for 30 years.  I love keeping track of the weather.  Here in Colorado, water is always an issue since our water comes from the winter snow pack.

The has been a dry winter and we are behind in mountain snow all across the state.  But now it is Spring and today Colorado is getting hammered with a major snow storm and everyone seems to be excited.  The mountains will end up with a couple of feet of new snow and the valleys with perhaps a foot.  March and April are the months when we do this and we all hope for it.  And in a couple of days, snow at lower elevations will melt, the sky will be blue, the high peaks bright white and today a memory.   I can not think of a better place to live.
