(up against the foothills, but still on the plains) That's pretty typical for this time of year especially. Second, between the downslope (i.e. dry & warming) winds that follow most storms and the "extra" solar heating caused by having 15% less atmosphere to filter the radiation than places at sea level have, outside of the mountains we're lucky if snow stays around for 24 hours!
