Through February 19, the park had received only 37.5″ of snow. Things were looking pretty dismal in the moisture and fire danger departments back then. By the beginning of March, a few small storms brought the total to just beyond 50″ – progress. After a decent March (35.7″) and April (19.1″), and then last night’s 9.4″, the season’s snow total is now 116.5″. This is an inch more than average, and I must say I am happy and pleasantly surprised to be here. May should be a terrific wildflower month in the park, so I will be sure to get out there and enjoy them. Now, if we could only get the spring and summer rains going…
