The Butte

Crested Butte has just set a new all-time record for snowfall. Four hundred eighteen inches. More is on the way. This is crazyness! There is such a thing as too much snow, and this is it. My mother has started trying to melt it with a space heater outside. The motivation is partly to protect the building, but partly because she is ready to hibernate till it's all gone. And that's not practical.
