What a Difference a Year Makes in Snowfall Amounts!

 

What a difference a year makes!  The photo above was taken this past weekend at Lake Solitude, on July 5, 2014.  The picture below was shot a year ago, on July 6, 2013.  It's amazing how much more snow the Rocky Mountains received this past winter, compared to a year ago!
