It has been really dry in Colorado Springs this spring. The little bit of moisture we got on Wednesday was the first in a while, it wasn't much, and by late afternoon it was sunny and nice. The saying is that we have 300 days of sun. The other 65 are when your friends, family or other important visitors or outdoor plans are scheduled. The forecast is warming up, we should see mid 80's over the next several days. You can see from today's photo (taken yesterday at the Shops at Briargate), the snowpack on Pikes Peak is starting to fade. With some really warm weather on tap, it could be gone within the week, which is pretty normal. It comes back in September, when we usually get the first dusting again. This morning's Gazette rainfall statistics reported month to date rain as only .4", compared to a normal May of 2.23". Year to date, we are at less than 50% of normal. It only takes one "frog choking rain" to catch that up sometimes, but these are some low numbers. Good thing most of our water actually comes from the mountains further west. We had a good winter for snow, so we won't be short on water, at least this year.
