Snow, especially in the mountains

I just checked the SNOTEL (SNOwpack TELemetry) website available at http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/ for the Grayback site west of Monte Vista. Not as much snow as I'd thought would be up there - on 12/11 there was 9" of snow on the ground at the 11,620' site, on 12/16 there was 21" of snow. Another large storm is due starting tonight and will dump 1-2 feet of additional snow in the mountains, including the eastern San Juans west of Monte Vista. Will definitely help with the agricultural outlook for '09.
