That is soooo cool. Great webcam shot!

Does anyone know....how far into the spring does EP usually get snow? And locals...is there a month when you say, "Enough already"?

I was there in June once and we had some snow. Our friends in Omaha and Lincoln are getting soaked today. Meanwhile here in Joplin it is sunny and 72 degrees. I'm off to watch my son play soccer.

We've had big snows in June...but it usually doesn't stck around for more than a day just because it gets so warm so quick...


I was tired of the snow in January. But this one is kind of nice...it's warm, and the snow is wet...there is not enough of it to be a hassle (no plowing or shoveling needed) and it will be gone soon enough...booyah

Any news regarding the general snow depths this year? I read a post stating that perhaps Longs wouldn't be non-technical at all this year, because RMNP got so much snow over the winter. How's the melting coming along and what about all this new snow?

As I understand it, you'll be hiking in the NEVER SUMMER! mountains.

Yes we are getting soaked again in Omaha and Lincoln (we really, really need it though, so I'm trying to be a good sport about it.)
Sunny and 72 degrees? Rub it in, why don't ya. (Just kidding....you guys will get it sooner or later too.) Did your son win his game?
