Unbelievable.
There’s no other way to describe the snowpack in the northern mountains.
John Fusaro and Todd Boldt of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Fort Collins measured the snowpack in the Big Thompson and Poudre canyons Wednesday and Thursday and came back with unbelievable numbers — an average snow depth of 133 inches at Cameron Pass, the top of the Poudre. One measurement at that snowfield reached 161.5 inches, or almost 13.5 feet. At the highest field in the Big Thompson Canyon, the snow depth was 95 inches.
“I’ve never seen that much snow at the end of April. Usually, the amount of snow starts to decline by this time of the year, but if it keep going like this we may be sent back up there at the end of May, and that’s never happened before,” Fusaro said Friday.
