Winter Storm
Always a Welcome Sight
Pretty, But Cold
Dreary Day
After the Storm
And yes, the sky really was that blue.
Still Coming Down
It is not unusual to get snow in April, but it is rare to get so much. What makes this snow particularly strange is the temperatures have hovered right above freezing, and the snow is still accumulating. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the fifties.
Sleetfall
For two and a half hours this afternoon, we had a thunderstorm with hail and sleet instead of rain. Lody, the Collie, who has moderate thunder phobia, paced and moaned for most of that time. Orion was pretty upset as well, and I couldn’t tell if he was reacting to Lody, to the storm, or to the disruption in his schedule. Snow is forecast for the next two days. Springtime in the Rockies is here!
Easter Morning
The snow is very wet, and much needed. Rion came in looking as bedraggled as if he had been out in the rain. We even had some lightning and thunder before dawn.
Blizzard – Not So Much
According to the newspaper, Colorado Springs did experience blizzard conditions yesterday. However, out little micro-clime seemed to escape the worst of the storm. Of course, anyone who experienced the Blizzard of October 1997 has a hard time taking seriously a storm that doesn’t dump a few feet of snow.
