The day before the last day of February, the City of Denver set a record for the most snowfall in history for the month of February. 22.2" fell this February, which is ironic because ten days earlier, it was shaping up to be one of the driest February's in history. Okay, enough weather talk. BNSF's Provo to Denver manifest heads east at East Rocky through the roughly 5" of fresh snow. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
