where here in the big city, depth of winter temperatures were in the 50s and 60s wth next to no rain or snow. We just plain didn't have a winter this year

Rapid snow melt is obvious when the snow even on the high peaks is only a few inches deep instead of the several feet it's supposed to be.

I just wonder how early/how ong the Rio Grande will be dry here.
