Snow Drought Breaks in Colorado

Storms over Colorado have finally broken the snow drought there. Crested Butte has seen over 51" in the last 3 days. The big dump comes at just the right time, as resorts are preparing for the thick of the season. Saturday's figures - the most updated data available - showed the statewide snowpack had climbed to 103 percent of its historical average for this time of year, with southwestern Colorado seeing snowfall totals of more than 110 percent of average. Climatologists have been predicting that El Nino would deliver above-average snow to Colorado this spring.
