Island Park Idaho

But not before we have a few more big storms.  On Wednesday, a monster storm from the north dumped about a foot of wet, heavy snow on Island Park.  It seems cruel, I know, but that’s how it goes.

I usually gauge it by the jack fence that runs along the highway at Harriman State Park.  About three weeks ago we got to where we could see the bottom rail of the fence.  You know spring is just around the corner when you see the bottom rail.  I figured maybe we’d be melted by early April.

Then we got a big dumper that not only covered the bottom rail, it covered the middle on as well.   We were just getting to the point where we could see the bottom rail again, and BAM.  We’re back up to the middle rail again.

The only saving grace, is that with temperatures forecast in the 50’s and 60’s for the next eight or nine days (and nights where the temperatures never drop below freezing, we’ll see some serious melting.  This time I’m really serious.  Spring is on the way.  Hey!  It could happen!
