We have not had a decent snow fall all winter, so send it my way. Snow pack which = irrigation water is critical right now.
No kidding. We had a 9" in late March, that was about it. Our basin, Upper Rio Grande, is at 31%. SW corner of the state isn't faring any better, 33%. There is a Forest Service gate a mile up past our place, that road goes up to near timberline. On average they can get the road open around May 20, sometimes it is only open part way on Memorial Day weekend. They opened the gate last Friday, a month early. Instead of moving snow I'm limbing trees and chipping slash to get ready for a bad fire season.
