Don’t get me wrong, Autumn is one of my favorite seasons.  I love the colors the leaves change here – palm fronds just turn brown and fall off.  Not very exciting.  In fact, I don’t even mind raking the 500 million leaves that litter my yard each year.  We have 2 large trashcans just for this one season – we have that many leaves.  But  in Colorado, autumn really doesn’t last more than a few weeks.  Case in point – snow in October.

Now snow in October is very normal for the front range but not to the extent of the past 48 hours.  A slow-moving low decided to creep across Colorado dumping feet of snow across the urban corridor.  Yes that’s right, I said feet!  The snow started to fall Tuesday evening and didn’t stop until today.  By the time it was all said and done we had 15″ of snow at our house!  It’s beautiful; looks like Christmas…if only I had lights in my trees.  Maybe tomorrow I’ll take pictures, but I doubt it.  😉
