What a crazy Winter and Spring has sprung!What a crazy Winter and Spring has sprung!
Yowza, we got 194% more moisture this year than average. It was a long winter and nice weather has finally arrived! Last week we hit 62 degrees and it caused the snow to melt quickly. Here in town it’s all gone, at my home only 3 miles north there are a few piles on the north of buildings but only 6 miles north of town, Summit Lake is still frozen over and there is a lot of snow!! I’ve lived in Mancos for 32 years and have never seen a winter like this before. My red signed road flooded over Mud Creek. A red signed road means the county does not maintain the road. What a disaster! Cars were stranded on either side. Since being able to get emergency vehicles over Mud Creek, my son James and I plus a few friends fixed the road. What a chore. Several ponds up north are at capacity and we shall see if there dams break if our road holds. We are expecting a few colder days this week in the high 40’s which is welcomed since it will slow down the snow melt. There is also flooding around Dolores as well. Click here to see my road! So if you are buying a home on a red signed road, make sure there is a road agreement with the neighbors.
