'03-'04...The winter that WASN'T???

#1 Postby azsnowman » Sat Nov 29, 2003 7:31 am

We went to the *higher* country yesterday, 10,600' to cut our Christmas tree yesterday, all I wore was a sweatshirt, that was enough!! NO SNOW what so ever, well, a *sprinkle* in the shade...but that's IT! I've never been able to get to the high country for a tree this time of year due to snow.....is this gonna be the "Winter that WASN'T" for us??? We cannot survive ANOTHER year without snowpack, we are entering into our 7th year of what's classified as an "Exceptional Drought!" I took a look at the NAFD on NWS FLAG just second ago, we have a STRONG ridge of high pressure setting up with forecast temps going to 20° ABOVE normal for the extended forecast period, this is getting DOWN RIGHT depressing!!! :cry:

Dennis, I hope you get moisture soon. I know how rough it has been there the last several years.

No moisture here either!! If we get the shaft too, it'll be the third winter in a row that was WAY below normal, and we don't need that!! Say it ain't so!!

Well.....here we are, 1 Dec and just a *trace* of snow thus far. We normally guage our winter snowpack by the amount of snow we've received by this time of year and judging by the way things are now, it's gonna be a DRY, COLD winter with no snow!

AND.....no snow on the horizon.......the drought, without a doubt, is worsening with every passing day, we're at the EXCEPTIONAL level now......
