Default Enough Snow

It's spring - enough is enough. We've got 10" of snow in my back yard right now and it's still falling. Calling for another 9" tonight and 3-5" tomorrow. Wouldn't be quite so bad if it wasn't 70 earlier this week and will be 70 again by Monday.

Disco Mike needs to quit wishing for snow. The LR club's trail ride for tomorrow has been cancelled because they are getting dumped on in the mountains again.

AK you are making me homesick. Grew up looking at the Flat Irons outside of Boulder. I just want to finish my Disco so I can come back and play for a couple weeks.

AK,
I thought you were still going to go show how the trail can be concered with it's now 3' plus of snow.
Yes, I take all the blame for this late snow storm, I have a very good snow dance with a very high success rate. Right now, early Saturday morning, we have 22"s of snow, my dentist in ever green has over 3' of fresh snow and we are being told another 4"s plus will come in this morning.
Here is a picture off of my apartments patio.

Snow in the driveway is finally starting to melt even though it's still falling. I'm tired of shoveling but I've been having fun playing in the snow banks along the roads.

Always remember - Iceland is green and Greenland is ice. I spent a year in Grenland and can tell you it really is ice.

Most of the northern 3/4 of Greenland is covered by a permanent ice cap. Where I was the ice cap started about a mile from the edge of the base. I haven't made it to Iceland yet but hope to someday.
