Most of the snow is gone here. The buttercups are blooming. Yesterday, when I woke up there was 3 inches of new snow, but by afternoon it was gone. This morning everything was flocked with new snow and the sky was pink. Now it is a gloriously sunny day.
A few days ago, thinking that spring was here and that I should be able to find some good trails to backpack on around here, I went to the ranger station. He said everything is under at least 1 1/2 foot of mushy wet snow. He said he had tried going out this early one year, and he was cold, wet and miserable.
