Description
Pink snow is turning red in Colorado. Here on the Great American Desert--specifically Utah's slick-rock portion of it where I live--hot 'n' dry means dust. When frequent high winds sweep across our increasingly arid landscape, redrock powder is lifted up and carried hundreds of miles eastward until it settles on the broad shoulders of Colorado's majestic mountains, giving the snowpack there a pink hue. Some call it watermelon snow. Our landscapes are often covered with what we jokingly refer to as "adobe rain," when rain falls through dust, spattering windows or laundry hung out to dry with brown stains.
