Good news

John Fleck reports on the good news in our otherwise very dry winter:

As of Friday, snowpack in the high country that feeds the Rio Grande headwaters was 59 percent above normal, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Snow in the headwaters of the San Juan is 50 percent above normal, and snowpack in the mountains that feed the Pecos is 25 percent above normal.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Down here at 5,000-6,000 feet, less than a quarter inch of precip in six weeks. (Though I had a pretty little dusting of snow yesterday morning). Dry, dry, dry.
