Colorado Water
The state snowpack is at 103% of average according to the Rocky Mountain News [November 29, 2004, "Weekend dump of white gold sends ski resorts into ecstasy"]. From the article, "Saturday's figures - the most updated data available - showed the statewide snowpack had climbed to 103 percent of its historical average for this time of year, with southwestern Colorado seeing snowfall totals of more than 110 percent of average. Sunday's snowfall undoubtedly pushed those numbers even higher. The South Platte and Colorado river basins - the most important to northern Front Range water supplies - were at 95 and 93 percent of historical averages, respectively."
Here's an opinion piece about cloud-seeding from the Rocky Mountain News [November 29, 2004, "Denver's faith-based rain initiative"]. Denver Water's Chips Barry is quoted as saying, "It's better than rain dancing, I'm pretty sure about that."
