24 Hours in Colorado

As promised, here is a comparison of a few pictures taken from the same spot (or close) over the course of 24 hours. I love how changing Colorado can be.
 This is yesterday at 7:00am, as the sun was rising. It was a beautiful, sunny day in the mid-60's. The day before (Wednesday) got up to the 70's. It was a warm and beautiful week.
This was yesterday at 6:00pm, as my family and I were walking to the park near our house. You can see the boys riding their scooters on the sidewalk to the left. It was still a warm day. A light sweater was more than sufficient. The "Winter Storm Warning" was only six hours away. Joi and I looked at the sky and made jokes about the "one little puffy cloud" that might drop 10 inches of snow on us.
This was taken at 7:00am, this morning (Friday). I'm not sure how long it had been snowing. When my alarm went off at 6:00am, the snow wasn't even sticking to the roads yet. So, it may have just started. By this time, the snow was just starting to stick. The worst of the storm is yet to arrive. They are expecting anywhere between 7-10 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. I think I'll take another picture either tonight or tomorrow morning to show you the final comparison and post it on my blog. By the way, it's expected to only reach 27 degrees today. Colorado definitely keeps you on your toes. Yesterday, I wore a short sleeve shirt to work (and pants..for those of you who wondered). Today, a jacket, gloves, and a scarf.

It's beautiful today! I don't even mind the drastic change in weather! After lunch, the boys plan on playing in the snow! What a lovely day!
