Is it just me or does the webcam make it look not quite ready? Where's the snow?

Loveland looks more ready, is that cam the wrong place?
 
last night i had a dream that it had snowed 6 inches and i was so incredibly happy because it was suposed to be 80 again. then i woke up right after because i was so excited in my dream...and i felt like crying when i looked outside. now i really am crying.
 
after tomorrow someone who went should post up and let us know what (if any) jibs and stuff are set up..
 
lol funny but still it is almost ALL manmade snow. the temperatures down in denver (where i live) have still been in 60's and 70's. also if you look at any of the runs around it they dont even have a dusting
