Yep!it's going to be a long dry summer if we don't either get a couple of heavy snows before spring or a lot of spring rain our mountains are bare at least half way up.The Canadian Rockies,just to the north of me look to still be holding a good snow load though.My fruit trees already are starting to bud and ther are fresh starts coming up in our flower beds.I am starting to feel like we're living on the Idaho side of the Rockies.it's always amazed me when I go steelheading on the Clearwater that it's so warm while I've been freezing my tushy off a couple of hundred miles away.
