Spring Snow Storm...

A view from our back door last night around 10:30 pm

...and another.

This morning.

The trees and vines were getting very drupe-y under the heavy wet snow.

Out our front window this morning.

These used to be buses in our front yard.

Yesterday the weather was quite lovely for half the day. In the afternoon the sky grew dark, the wind picked up, and the rain came in. It rained a significant amount and the thunder was intense. Then all of the sudden the rain stopped and the clouds lifted slightly. An hour after that the wind picked back up and the snow started to fall. It continued to fall all through the night and then again throughout the morning. I'm not sure yet the official snowfall total, but it's definitely over a foot. Hard to believe it was 70 degrees last Wednesday and I was out enjoying the weather on a mini-golf course and go-cart track. Denver public schools even closed for the day. Jesse wasn't sure he was going to work, but ended up heading in around 10am when the roads seemed to be clearing up. Catholic Charities even closed their doors, so that means no work for me tonight either. Got to love that crazy Colorado weather!
