"Today is #FridayFunday! If you're currently surrounded by snow, why not take a furry friend out for some fetch with snow balls? This pup is definitely making the most of the snow up by the Snake River Area Office!

It's #WinterWonderland Wednesday at Reclamation! Today's photo is a scenic shot of Boise, Idaho taken at dusk. The mountains are covered in snow that is abruptly melting after a record-breaking winter storm dumped tons of snow into the Treasure Valley. The weeks of snow accumulated up to 15" on Thursday, Jan. 5, which broke the previous snow-depth record set in the mid-1980s. Meanwhile, a whopping 6.5" of snow fell on Wednesday, Jan. 4 alone, breaking the previous record of 3.2" recorded in 1951. The quick rise in temperature after the snowfall is now causing flooding in Boise, ID. Thanks to Kirsten Strough, Visual Information Specialist with Reclamation, for today's photo. #winterwonderland #wednesday #snow #usbr #cool #photography #photooftheday
