It's snowing ! First moisture in months. We are at about 50% of normal moisture for the year.We normally get 8 to 10" annually.Hopefully the mountains will get 'buried',as if we dont get any snow again this year,we may not have any irrigation water. We were at 70/80% last year so we need lots of snow to catch up.The lakes are low/empty/dry.We are in an extreme drought cycle. :( Maybe if we get enough I can put the blade on my 8N and try out those new tires. :)
 
Hopefully you will get plenty this winter, but you never know. We finally got some rain here in the Phoenix valley, we only got .2 in the east valley, but the west side got close to an inch. Roosevelt lake is 81% full so everyone is using all the water they want.
 
'18 was dry,Some ranchers in the higher altitudes/valleys didn't even have enough water to get their ditches wet.'19 had abundant moisture(we had a banner hay crop),last year was dry(not as bad as '18),this year is looking like it will be drier still. Even the 'weather guessers' are forcasting extreme dry. Not good.Delta County is the dryest county in the state of Colorado. My 'neighborhood'(Peach Valley) is the driest part of Delta County.
 
Last winter no snow and almost no rain through the summer we had 3 inches in June and that’s been it up until now and we still don’t have anything
