May Snow Showers

Of course people in Denver explain Denver weather by stating that its Denver. In other words we tend to try explaining changes we don’t understand by blaming them on things that don’t change.

So hey, how ’bout that May Day snow storm! I heard they were forecasting 20 inches of snow for Estes Park.

Wait! That’s not Denver!

This is Denver …

‘April showers bring May flowers’

I’ve heard that all my life. But I’ve one modest question, Why, this year, do all the April showers have to be snow showers? I sort of remember this Colorado from when I moved here some forty years ago, but I haven’t seen much snow in April for the last twenty. There are a great many people who think this snow is abnormal. I even know skiers who are whining about the late snow.

As hard as it is on the Lilacs, it makes great pictures. Somehow, I’m always surprised and fascinated by the way the snow soaks up colors.
