That's the sucky part of winter and snow for us. Snow on a weekend cramps our style as we have things to do.....

If I could, I'd send you ALL of our snow/snow storms, as you seem so happy when it snows.

^No thank you, Lainey. I like how it's been coming here. I get it about once every 9 days or so. Then it gets up to the low 60's which means snow in a couple of days. So far, that's been my experience.

Oh, and I think 5" is enough. Of snow, MA Jerry.

It's been in the low to mid 80s here for a week, with more of the same forecast through Tuesday. Damn, winter's been rough!

I'd be unhappy with that. What's your summer going to be like?

Just want you to be satisfied Patty

I will say Patty you're getting the light, dry, Colorado, champagne powder.
You need to come struggle with 12" of heavy, wet, coastal snow..... yeee-uck.

This morning's delightful weather included some light snow, wet roads, temperature dropping and a flash freeze warning for the commute and later this AM.

Winter be gone, please! I may have to take a contract out on that damned groundhog who is predicting six more weeks of winter. I'm already DONE with winter. Oh and have we discussed the joys of potholes all over the place?

^Yes, and I think that's more of the norm here. You're welcome to the heavy, wet snow. Please keep it.

Typically Colorado’s winter snows are of the nature that you speak of…Due to the dry climate and cold overnight temperatures a good portion if the snow sublimates before it can melt and run off, with the exception of the late spring months when melting occurs.
