Fall entered Colorado, and two week’s later we had our first snow. Yup, it’s that time of year again. The forecast was only for a dusting, maybe we were lucky, on grassy surfaces. As often is the case with Colorado weather forecasts, especially of the white variety, I wasn’t going to hold my breath. However, I was very much surprised when I let the dogs out on the morning October 4th and saw not only large flakes falling from the sky, but a decent coating of the white stuff all over my lawn. I was even more surprised that morning when I had to brush 2″ of it off my car before I could drive to work! Incidentally, there was zero, zip, zilch accumulation at my work, 20 miles away. I didn’t even see any snow fall the 8 hours I was there.

Well, be that as it may, we started our snow season off with a decent 2″ of heavy wet snow.  If you want to follow our snowfall season, and keep up with how much we accumulate between now and May (yes our “winter” lasts that long), bookmark this page: Snow Totals 2013-2014
