Spring has Multiple Personalities

Spring is here in Colorado. A couple of days ago it was in the 80's and sunny. I stopped wearing a light coat to work. It was nice. All of the snow melted and the grass started to turn green again. Yesterday morning, as I was walking to the light rail station, it started to hail on me. Hail? Really? I thought that was more of a summer thunderstorm thing. Strange! Last night while we were sleeping all snug in our beds, Spring dropped 2-3 inches of snow on us. As I walked to the light rail station this morning, I did it through large blowing snow flakes still falling from the sky. Below is a picture from my bedroom window that I took this morning. Tomorrow, it's supposed to be in the mid 60's again. By this weekend, it's going to be in the upper 70's and sunny. When people come from out of state to visit, they ask me what type of clothes to bring and how the weather is going to be. Well, here's my answer. Bring shorts and flipflops and a snow jacket and gloves...because spring in Colorado is like a box of chocolates. Yep, that's right. You never know what you're gonna get.
