2. RIP and condolences to their families and friends

We have an irrigation ditch through our property It was running so fast and full yesterday that our pump couldn't keep up with it while watering our yard. We even flow irrigate part of our place at the same time and it was spilling over to places it has never reached in 40 years.

We're in north Lakewood south of Clear Creek where it crosses Kipling St. in Wheat Ridge and I bet it's running high and fast. I'll have to drive up there and take a look.

It can snow in the mountains in June. But up north of Fort Collins near the Poudre they had 14" of snow last week at the highest elevation. It's going to be a long runoff season this year.
