Just 'cause I had a tape measure handy I took it outside this morning. 28-32 inches in my yard this morning, near the Cougar Creek parking lot. It's probably down to about 12 inches of slop anywhere that gets sun, and melting fast in general. The helicopter is flying around and dropping bombs on the avi paths above Grassi, kinda cool. Not huge releases in general that I saw, but give it a bit until the slurpee monsters start rolling, should be fun to watch. Sunny now. You might be able to find someplace sunny to climb where the snow didn't accumulate much at the base (Water Wall?) but all the moisture is going to be dripping like mad. Pretty cool spring storm!
