I lived in Colorado Springs for 2 years and know of what you speak. One April we got 30". I was told the Springs had no snowplows because it would melt in a day or so. We're now seeing bare, albeit brown mud, around here. I can still see about 4 - 5" of snow in the back yard where it drifts. Around her, people are actually looking forward to mud season, sick of the snow.
