Nevermind....

In my Dec. 16 post, I reported on the lack of snow in Wyoming's Snowy Range. On Sunday, Dec. 10, our family drove to the Snowies to cut a Christmas tree. Usually we're slogging through knee-high drifts to get the right tree. This time, we were lucky if the snow was deep enough to come up to our angles.

That all changed with the blizzard that's now winding down. I have deeper drifts in my backyard in Cheyenne than I saw anywhere in the mountains on Dec. 10. Not sure what the mountains received, but an earlier storm four days ago dumped more than a foot. We got five inches in Cheyenne and add another 12-15 inches from this storm and we've made up our snow deficit. The Denver area received more than two feet from the blizzard and the airport is still shut this morning. Estes Park, about a two-and-one-half hour drive to our southwest, reports 42 inches of new snow. That means a good shellacking of snow in Rocky Mountain National Park -- and summer water for the flatlanders.

What does this say about global warming? It means that people will be asking the question: "What does this say about global warming?
