Localized drought in a pretty dry part of the state. Nearby Alamosa only got 11.2" of snow for the entire 1942-43 season, the 4th lowest total on record. Montrose had only received 8.6" by the end of December, with a 20.5" total for the season. Average snowfall for Montrose by the end of December is only about 10" though.
Definitely not Creede?

I vote for this being in Idaho. How about Freeze Out hill near Emmett?
