I presume that is silt, suggesting there was some flow out into the basin from the storms at the beginning of the month?

Wasn’t some sort of microorganism or algae growing on the crust discussed somewhere here recently, discoloring the valley floor temporarily before it turns white again?

Reminds me of when the snow turns pink in the Sierra ... turns out it's algae and not watermelon-flavored. Sad face.

Ok TacoLand, reminds me of when the snow turns yellow and it's time to sing along with Frank Zappa (listen to the end of the short video to capture the punch line  Cool

Not me. I wasn’t into his type of music back then.
