Clearly, we have been through a wintertime drought, with snow sampling stations essentially snow-free until mid-March, and the poor winter conditions leaving low stream flow volumes.

I've never seen anything like this. It's quite shocking to a lot of folks who depend on the snow. There could still be a miracle turnaround; don't underestimate Mother Nature. But the trend doesn't look good for us right now.

At this point, only a dramatic and sustained shift in the weather will improve the outlook for snow in Arizona. If this dry condition persists much longer into the snow season, it will be difficult to catch up.

I've heard all kinds of stories since then. The snow got deeper. It got colder. It was a terrific ballgame, but to play it under those conditions was incredible.
