On this particular morning, Big Ten Curve is pretty close to the boundary between snow on the ground and the ground just being wet. The snow was not able to push much to the east of Rocky overnight. Snow in April in the Denver area is certainly not uncommon, but this late in the season, the accumulations tend to be very low. Makes for a great look as the Zephyr rounds the wind break at Big Ten.
