I've been amazed at the "winter" here in Boulder. Lots of 60 and 70 degree days. We've climbed outside. We've done yard work. We've gone on long road bike rides. Heck, we even painted some of the house this winter. Just last week we watered the grass.Winter?
Dave kept telling me that it would come. I think he was even starting to get worried that it wouldn't. Starting yesterday morning, it came. It started snowing. And snowing. And snowing. Officially it was a blizzard.
Snow plows couldn't keep up so roads were just closed. We shoveled earlier yesterday but it did little good. All day, we could hear the screams of sledding around. Pretty funny!
As of yesterday, the official measure was 16.4". Over night though, it looked like another 6" or so was added. Dave went out this morning to see what he measured and got 18" on top of the back patio table.
The view from the back porch is beautiful. Though a wee bit hazy, you can see the snow-encrusted flatirons. Gorgeous!It may snow some more today, but it doesn't seem likely. It's warming so I'm sure in a couple of days this will be gone. Winter is Boulder rocks!
