When will the last flake melt?????

****NATURAL ONLY (Drop does not count)****
Contest! Who can predict the last date that a drift can be spotted in Canaan or the Sods?? This might take some extra effort by those of ya who live up/around there and might know the drifts to watch but I think it would be fun this year to ID and track the biggest drifts (pictures would be sweet) and know to the day when the last flake melts from this extraordinary season.
My Guess: May 13th!! ... somewhere on the ridges or in the sods
If the -AO/blocking trend continues into spring, I think late May would be attainable. Early last May, I came across a couple snow patches along the pipeline in the Roaring Plains. But, not sure if it was from a snow patch left over from the winter snowpack or an April snow.
I'll say May 21st...perhaps the pipeline or MPC
I plan on iceing down my beer on top of MPC on Memorial Day Weekend.
I also plan on hiking for turns on May 1 at t-line. Anybody want to join me?
