    It's going to be a tough year for runoff. The intermittent creek which flows down from Davos by my home NEVER even trickled this year. Last year the intermittent creek was taking away 10 pound rocks in June. It's not summer, but severe droughts that are depressing. If you look at the 6 SWE charts from Blizzard, all the snotel sites are at 0 SWE, it doesn't really matter what watershed in Colorado, they are all at extreme low tide.

    Two things really stand out as different to me this year than 2002. We're getting more rain than 2002. Even though the Gore Range looks on the dry side, for some reason the New York range still looks like it has more snow than it would have in May 2002. There is a small glimmer of hope that even though the watersheds are in worse shape than 2002, maybe the weather will treat us better in terms of rain. Not sure what affect a ENSO neutral has on Colorado's monsoon.

    Update: The snow was thin in places, but the skiing was tolerable Tuesday on some aspects of Sneffels and Yankee Boy Basin:





    I wouldn't expect it to last too much longer. The Birthday Chutes had a couple of down-climb spots. And the slope below Lavender Col is kind of burnt.

    I'm sure my memory is biased from the time that has passed, but I think we've had more precipitation in the last 2 days than all of Summer 2002 (around Vail). There was at least a dusting of new snow on the ground visible on Vail Pass and surrounding areas plus a dusting of snow coming down today. It seems like there was more snow in December 2001 - February 2002. My memory is that April/May 2002 were much hotter and drier than current conditions. It looks like there is more snow on Vail and Breckenridge than there was this time of year in 2002. It's pounding hail near Breckenridge right now. Anyhow, it won't help runoff much, but if we keep getting these little rains into June, this drought wont' be near as bad as summer 2002. Then again, rain now could just be causing the brush to grow and leaving more fuel to burn in dry times ahead this summer...

    Agreed. There is more snow on Breck right now than there was at this time in '02. April & May '02 seemed warmer and drier than the weather we've been having recently. I remember commenting that 4th of July Bowl wouldn't make it to May 4th that year. It's still filled in as of now. It'll be interesting to see what the streamflows do this week with the warm forecast.

    you can probably count on some thunderstorms when it's 65 degrees at 10am.

    Looking for a partner for Indy on Sunday....anyone?

    I agree. Spring/summer of '02 were rough.

    It doesn't seem too warm this week though, at least compared to March. Looks like a cool-down over the weekend then another one later next week. Stuff above 13000' in Clear Creek is still holding the fresh snow from last weekend.

    Rained pretty heavy yesterday evening/night in West Vail, enough to contribute something to runoff and a lot to soil moisture. While the rain was still coming down my creek did run a bit. Nice to hear the sound of running water, even for only a short time.

    smoky as hell today, supposedly from NM. Hopefully no campers start a fire this weekend with all this wind, it would get really bad really quick.

    We were hiking Diamond Peaks at Cameron Pass when, about 8 am, as the wind kicked up from the south smoke suddenly could be smelled and seen in the hue of the light.
