\"DryKlaus Wolter, a meteorologist affiliated with the University of Colorado and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration continues to promise a dry winter.\u00a0 In an article today in the Rocky Mountain News he says, “I think we should count our blessings. We got lucky” in regards to the amount of moisture the state has seen thus far.<\/p>\n

According to Wolter, the La Nina weather pattern present in the Pacific will persist resulting in storms tracking north of our state.\u00a0 The good news though is that snowpack thus far is above normal statewide and even if their predictions bear out, we should be okay come summer.\u00a0 Here are the latest readings as of today:<\/p>\n
