Ski Resort managers in Sun Valley, Idaho have called it the best start to the season they've had in a long while. Though they've slowed down now, likely associated with the pattern change that has helped the MW make gains. Hopefully we can continue to get rain to help keep beef prices from rising. Ranchers aren't going to be able to restock very heavy.

I believe the snow amounts were "generous" for that period of time. <br /><br />As I state in the next sentence, "Much more rain is needed in many areas to break the drought." Of course, in winter in mountains we need much more snow. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment.

While significantly improved from Nov 30 when the pack was downright catastrophic, it's not 'generous.'<br /><br />Your overall prediction is good though. :)<br /><br />Source: http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/reports/UpdateReport.html?report=Colorado&format=SNOTEL+Snowpack+Update+Report<br /><br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331066509646364037noreply@blogger.com
