Say a prayer for the Carolinas with us as well as other parts of the SE. Pattern has been a little better, but still way behind.

Nice to see the surface moisture is back. I reckon it is still dry deep down and the aquaifers are still down. Where has Aslkahuna been? Haven't seen his posts in awhile. More snow ok and just no rain till june..?

Hey Azsnowman: I am happy for you as we aren't hardly getting any snow here in the middle hudson valley region in NY. I like the big storms. By the way I frequently visit Arizona in the fall in the Phoenix area. Maybe we can hook up?

Snow has been great here, as well. My snow measuring is pretty shaky, so allow for a significant margin of error, but I've recorded approximately 84 inches of snow at my house so far this winter.

Here's best wishes for the snow to continue as long as it can!
