High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

A Change Is Forecast!

Our snowpack is still huge. The wind over the last couple of days drifted it badly--and closed my driveway again. Today I went out with an ordinary shovel and broke up the drifts, thinking that maybe much of it would sublime (solid turning directly to a gas, as happens to ice cubes in your freezer). I didn't think that any would be melting, and it hasn't for several weeks.

But after one more cold night, warmth is forecast for the rest of this week! A flow of air from the warmer south. Denver will be in the 40s and 50s, which should mean temperatures well above freezing up here. That's going to solve some problems, but will create another--mud.
