Had another snowstorm last night. Sun came out again in the morning and by noon most of it was melted off at our altitude. Still drifts of up to 2.5 feet at my brother-in-law's place higher up.
Just another "normal" springtime in the Rockies. Now you know why narrow gauge railroading was so difficult throughout the Rocky Mountains, when the drifts averaged forty to fifty feet and the high passes did not melt clear until July.
