Where does that rank as far as snow fall totals ever since you have been in Breck? That's nearly 200 inches over the norm, if i'm not mistaken.

Bill:
If you have a photo or two you can post from the Breck area to illustrate the snow conditions there such would be appreciated, and thanks. Haven't made it to your area for several years.

My overland travels (through March 15) throughout SW Colorado (W of the Divide and S of US 50) revealed snow conditions no better than "normal" with many areas apparently less than normal, by visual inspection.
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content - Paul the Apostle.
Like it or not, I am a slow driver. Putt ... putt ... putt ...
Good day.
