The second rain/snow event in a week! This morning at 4300' we've had 1/2" of rain overnight; the rocks up top are white again!! The temp is dropping and the precip is still falling. Nice.....even tho' it is way too early to be significant!

When the ceiling lifts, I'll take a picture.

kids have way more fun including myself, as you can drag/ carry anything in the trailer you want. kids/ grandson's can make as much of mess as they want. get home drop the back door and sweep it out all clean.:d

Yes, the snow is coming. Pictures from the north end of the valley. Fishing trip and we awoke to 2-3" of the nice white addicting stuff we call snow! Pictures taken at 5700' (1756m). Before and after shots....

Getting this to the top again.....weather is warmer than pi$$, nice but not getting me excited! No snow on the top of the mountains and even at 6800', what little snow there was in the shade has melted.

Still had 1/2" of rain during the last week. What more can I say.....damn
