I didn't take pictures, but the Jarbidge Wilderness got a skiff up top as well as the Ruby Mountains in NE NV.

Been snowing since I took the picture, try to get more tomorrow. La Platas & San Juans have snow below 9,000'. Should be a much better opener for 1st rifle than we had for M/L season. Good luck to all........

Now I wish it would snow, forecast is showing 80s with lows in the mid 40s. Glad my only tag is filled but it's making it hard to help others.

I have a NM unit 2B mule deer tag for the end of the month so I'm praying for snow up your way.

Hope we get several good storms/snow before 4th season deer in mid November.
It looks like Colorado and Wyoming are turning into the "banana belt" of the Rockies. Hope you get the snow you need Cowboy.
I almost got a sunburn while Cow Moose hunting in the Snowies at the beginning of October....Hot and very dry!

Seems like the biggest problem we have here is it is to damn warm. In the last 2 weeks we have had lots of rain & snow above 9000', but it stays mostly in the mid 30's to 40 at night, just too warm for the snow to stick. More moisture forecast for next week.

Let's hope snow starts sticking soon...I know seasons are set 5 days later next year, not sure if that will make a difference or not. Thanks for keeping us posted. I'm putting in for a 4th season hunt next year and will be checking Colorado weather more than my hometown weather the whole time.
