The first day of spring has come and it feels like winter itself hibernated this season, with the exception of a sparse flurries, including a recent snow on March 6, decorating the Roaring Fork Valley. The Roaring Fork Conservancy reported on March 19 that snowpack decreased by 2.1 inches at McClure Pass in a week, “nearly a quarter of the total [snowpack] accumulated at the site this winter.” Colorado, Wyoming and Utah all experienced their warmest winter season on record.
