The winter that wasn't. Next 2 weeks arent likely to change this much. Trying to catch up on all the ramifications of Powell possibly hitting minimum power pool in 12 months...
A quick Colorado River 2026 snowpack check:
-currently trending below 2002 (lowest runoff on record)
-about to tie 2018 (lowest snowpack on record for late January)
-warm and dry conditions predicted for February, March, April across the Southwest

December 24, 2025 - Chapman Hill in Durango, CO. I am impressed as the resilience of this man-made patch of ice against the wildly persistent high pressure "heat" dome we've been under for the past 3 weeks.
My kid is happy to have something to ski on.

Watching the sun set on the southwestern US. We are lucky to be alive in a time where we can so casually look back at our planet from space.
