Colorado's Changing Face

It's been unseasonably warm here lately. In fact, on Wednesday and Thursday it's been a record high 76 degrees. So, when the weather called for a slight chance of snow on Thursday night, I didn't hold my breath. How in the world can it be 76 degrees in the day and snow by that same night? Well, Colorado seems to pull it off. This morning I woke up, looked out my bedroom window, and found this.
 Now...most of this snow didn't last very long because today it is a high of 52 degrees and is supposed to be mostly sunny all day. But, wow, what a beautiful morning. The snow was a wet, spring snow...so it coated the trees and bushes in white. The ground was still warm so it caused a low laying fog to drift just above the ground. The green belt across the street from our home looked amazing with glistening white trees and shrubs and drifting fog. It was amazingly beautiful. I love this place!
