It is a wee bit of a buzz kill but snow has been falling for the past few hours here in Butte. Fortunately the ground is warm enough so that the snow is not sticking here in town but it definitely will push the mountain biking back a few days as the trails are bound to be packed with snow and or soggy from all the rain. The preceding two days have been wet wet wet, and the forecast calls for more rain.
The good news is that we are not being impacted by flooding which many places currently are. The combination of deep snow packs, sudden warm weather (not currently given the snow), and constant rain has proved to be a bad combination for flooding of local rivers.
The crazy part about this snow is that we are less than 2 weeks away from the summer solstice. It will certainly put a wrinkle into the plans of people getting ready to do the Tour Divide race as much of the route in Canada and Montana will certainly be impacted by the deep snowpack.
here is to trying to get psyched to get on the indoor trainer once again later today.....good thing we have the trainer as it is getting some serious use this year!
