Seems that we’ve all gotten a bit grumpy. Perhaps I’m wrong and reading the tone of things incorrectly. If so, I’ll take the blame.
Regardless of our collective state of mind, I’ve been following somewhat closely a story of a kid who ran away from his bus stop yesterday. I’m not sure why I followed as closely as I did, but I did. Yesterday morning a 9 y/o boy ran away from his bus stop, and home. His reasons are unclear. But the FBI, along with local law enforcement had a search going and an Amber Alert start yesterday. Good news is, the boy was found this morning.
Again, no one really knows what the boy’s reasons for running are. Everyone is just glad he was found, safe, perhaps a bit cold.
For those that don’t ski, I’d recommend a drive just up either BCC or LCC to see first hand how high the snow is piled. It’s astounding. I was at Solitude yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks and couldn’t believe it. The skinny snow canyons that constitute the roads to the cabins just west of Solitude are amazing. They’re twice the height of an SUV. The meadows along the way are also just beautiful. It’s worth the trip. Just pick a time that avoids the weekend ski traffic cluster.
That’s really nice to see. I’m surprised that these types of records only go back to the early 1980s. Regardless, I’m glad for all you out West getting much needed water. I hope the lessons learned from the on going drought continue to be applied.
Seriously, it’s great to see snow totals like this. Now if we can get some cooler than normal temps this spring and summer, and another snow year like this one next year, maybe we can put a dent in the GSL dry lake bed.
Not that it was not going to dry out eventually; but slowing the process down would not be a bad thing.
