Boulder, CO, in the foreground, on October 10, 2002 with the Continental Divide in the distance. Lake Powell, Arizona, as seen from the air.
October 15, 2002 mountain snow cover near Aspen, Colorado.
The spring snow cover left the area almost two months early.
October 10, 2002 mountain snow cover in southwest Colorado.  The October 2002 mountain snowfall amounts were above average making a very small dent in the drought.
This is what remains of Barr Lake along I-76 northeast of Denver.  The wooden dock is stranded well away from the water. The boat ramp leading into Barr Lake is also stranded quite a distance from the lake due to drought conditions.
