I flew from Denver to San Diego earlier today and was very impressed with the amount of snow in the high country. Dang!! We got at least 8" here and that's after it melted off...flooding coming. This is gonna be a rough spring run off for a lot of people. I was talking to a former co worker and he was telling me that half his loads to Utah right now are sandbags. yep.....I believe ya....... 765" of snow is going down hill when it melts Was hoping for a slow melt...we will see. I hope so, too. But I don't know if it's possible for that much snow to melt slow enough. Not sure where you are, but Utah has been dry for a few years, and now they're making up for it.

A very high percentage of Utahns cannot stand Mitt Romney. My son is one of them. Hmm...seems a very high percentage of Utahns keep reelecting him. Mitt has never been re-elected. Even in mass.

I don’t know if it can, either, but I’ll be danged if the creeks aren’t still running at winter levels, and the snow is melting down, if only on the sunny side slopes. All I can figure is that the soil has thawed underneath that snow and is slowly soaking it up. Of course, that only works as long as we don’t get 60’s and 70’s and wind. But anything that melts slowly now won’t come down all at once. It looks like temps are going to turn normal in a couple of weeks, let’s hope things continue to go slow.

It’s official. We hit 10’ of snow for the year in Grace. 36 feet on the mountain.
A little less at the farm 500’ lower, thank goodness. We’d have no places to pile the snow if we’d gotten that much. Almost twice the normal amount in the valley. 170% of normal on the mountain. Sun is feeling stronger, and I saw a day above 40 in the forecast today.

South east Oregon here, and well above average. We'll take more if one wants to route it this way. Should be picking up another 5 " or so in a couple days.

Update: Alta ski resort near Salt Lake City just went over 800 inches of total snow since October 1. That's 66+ feet of snow and marks a new all-time record. They aren't done yet. Two more huge storms predicted next week.
The 12" I got Monday melted and I have gotten 14" more so far today. Couldn't get the garbage cans out to the curb.

We bought our son a season’s pass at Stevens Pass and he’s been getting a lot of use out of it. The snowpack in the Cascades is a skier and snowboarders delight. He just came in an hour ago and told us about the ski trip him and his buddies are planning to go on in May down at Big Bear California. He said that they’re planning a full week in May and probably go back again in July for some summer snowboarding. This snowpack is much needed out west and the snow-sport-lovers are in 7th Heaven (not the ski run) and loving it. 👍🏼
I only hope and pray that it melts slowly over a long period of time and no rain until it’s been melted and captured. You good fellows that are at lower elevations and subject to flooding in the event of a rapid warming stay safe and hopefully you are prepared with sandbags and flood insurance. This is the time to prepare for what is likely to come in the near future when it warms up.

I’m always buying shackles at the hardware stores and co-ops when they’re clearancing them out. A couple years ago I bought $400 worth of shackles and miscellaneous stuff for chain and cable hardware…they had end caps with everything 90% off. I bought a shallow head well pump at 90% off and paid $30 for it. I had a couple hundred pounds of shackles, carabiners, gate hinges and latches and I paid about $400 for everything. I doubt I’ll use half of it in my lifetime but I’ll take it up north and I’m sure that eventually I’ll find people that can use something. I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. The 2.5” shackle on that site I couldn’t believe that it’s $1591.00….for a single shackle. Granted it’s a 55 ton rating but $1591.00 seems crazy expensive.

You got a deal!
The USA shackle is $90, a foreign version is $45.
I will GLADLY pay twice the price for piece of mind not to mention supporting the USA.
She's gonna be a mudhole here hopefully in a week or two!
