At this critical time of year for Colorado River snowpack, things are looking very good. For the first time this year, the April-July runoff forecast has climbed above 10 million acre feet.
The snowpack among the sites above Lake Powell where the federal government maintains real-time monitoring equipment is 57 percent above the long term median for this point in the year.
I love having all that water, but it is sure nice with current all the way to take out in Cataract, also the side canyons are starting to make nice new campsites.
The snow in my front yard is higher than my van. I can't remember anything like it; nor can my 84 old friend. I haven't put on sunscreen yet this season, it's cloudy and snowy every day. It's amazing!
I've only shoveled a few inches, a few times, so far this year. Normally I am lifting it waist high by now. And yet, I'm skiing freshies! This is the best possible scenario!!
