It saves our bacon from drought a lot of times but when moisture flows are coming from out of our NW, then the mountains hurt us and we only get spotty showers and storms. Our best moisture streams are out of the South and Southwest Here.CF
I've enclosed a couple of pictures to show you what it looks like here in one of the pictures you can see the snow on the Hill if you look close enough also a picture of my river behind the house with plenty of ice it gets very hot here in the summer because we live in a canyon and it's completely rocks all around us plus most of the hot air blows right down the river canyons right to our place most of our storms come from the West and we get some out of the South if conditions are right most of our snowfall comes out of the West in North enjoyed the pictures.
