The end of winter wonderland

What did I say in my last post? In a few days we'll have a BBQ on the porch again? Well... that's how Colorado is. One day you have warm temperatures and sunshine, then you have a blizzard pulling in leaving us with 17 inch of snow and a state shutdown for the day and the next morning everything is thawing again. The end of a winter wonderland.

Which kind of amazes me is how quickly all that is happening. Even though the temperatures are well below freezing the sun comes out and melts the snow in no time. At around noon the streets were cleared and the remaining water was steaming (!) off... look at this picture! Amazing... you have to love the Coloradan weather ;-)
