After a winter of an all time lowest (by a large margin) snowpack, we all remain very concerned about the coming summer. While we had two days, of mixed snow and rain in the last 2-3 weeks, it's been dry otherwise. Colorado remains in severe or (in our region) exception level 5 drought. The mud season occurred extremely early and thus the river's Spring high flow rates have been very low and seem to be already behind us. It is going to be a tragic river/soul moisture situation unless we get a, not predicted, heavy monsoon. We will not get any ditch irrigation this year due to low reservoir levels, and no refill expected.
