Need… Snow… Badly!
Tuesday brought 50*F temperatures and an inch of rain, as if we weren’t already hurting badly enough. Creeks are flowing once again! Snow pack took another significant hit. Exposed areas are thin, with bare areas. Shady areas still hold anywhere from a few inches to a foot-plus of remnant that will freeze hard as a […]
