get another shortly. Unfortunately, science has shown these unusual explosive storms on top of a low snow pack from this horrifically warm winter mean little impact on dry soil. Still, we need it so I'll take what we can get. The past two weeks along CO front range have been 90 one day and (except for the snow storm) in the 40s the next.

Strange times, but I like my winter (and hate hate hate hot summer) so, bring it back early and often.
