A large snowfall in Mesa County, Colorado. According to game warden John Duncan Hart, the Winter of 1919-20 was hard and severe on wildlife. The harshness of the weather meant that the Department of Fish and Game had to make arrangements for the feeding of the California quail, only recently introduced to the state of Colorado. Even so, hundreds of quail died. Thanksgiving Day saw snow so deep that several trucks with chains were abandoned between Grand Junction and the Durham Stockyards.
