here is a bit of a throwback to some styles and techniques I am re-exploring, this is a nod to the hopeful melting of snows and reemergence of color and life on the high desert...

I get the feeling for this one Gary as where I am the snow is up to ones knee caps and still falling
Beautiful! And, please ... send some snow over here! Haven't seen one single flake this year!
This one seems to me somehow the colorful version of Guernica a long time after the bombing and when the pain for the tragedy (caused by the snow of dropped bombs effect) is finally melting and fading away.
It's more than just a graphical/ abstract evolution of Picasso, it's almsot a modern bas-relief with tangible objects and ethereal lights. You also somehow cut the canvas like Lucio Fontana to enter a new universe beyond the flat 2D painting ....
Obviously we can also read and almost feel the snow patches on the concrete and ground with all our senses here .... as per Your title and original inspiration.

Panta rei (everything flows)!
Cool, love all the work on this one, I think it rightfully abstractly represents the famous Buys Ballot’s Law where a pattern with high pressure over the Beaufort Sea and low pressure over the Laptev and East Siberian Seas (see figure below) brings southerly winds to the region, enhancing melt, breaking up ice, and pushing the ice edge northward CIAO

That's what art's about, isn't it -- at some point it's about the relationship between the art and the viewer, sort of like speed dating. (D Akey)
Yes we have been getting a lot of snow here in the mountains, much to the delight of the skiers, snowboarders, and farmers and ranchers to replace the much depleted snow pack after last years drought.
What how can that be, your skiers must be upset with that..
a remarkable analysis and one that causes me to think, I just recently watched a documentary on Picasso and most of it centered around Guernica and all the events surrounding it, and up until that time Picasso was very apolitical.
your image made me laugh, very good and most appropriate.
