Wet and Heavy

So far, we've had an unusual winter in central Utah.  Storm after storm has dumped snow and rain on the mountains with barely a sunny day anywhere.  Most of the watersheds in the state are approaching 200% of normal snowpack.  Instead of light Utah powder, though, this snow has been more like Sierra cement.  On the National Forest, some of our crews have been out clearing it from the roofs of the old guard stations:  We don't want them to collapse under all the weight.
