There also wasn't as much snow as usual in the basin and on the drive in. I don't know how the snowpack is at higher elevations. (Here in the mountains of northern Utah, our snowpack percentages improved with the snowstorms of the last month or so - although they are still below normal.)<br><br> Polly Panos<br><br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">-----Original Message-----
