First Snow

When Mother Nature decides to make a statement she really doesn't hold back. We got our first real snow fall a little over a week ago and boy did we get snow, kind of. My place got between 25" and 27", but we only got about 8" at my office, it's about 18 to 20 miles away! All I have to say is that I truly hope this isn't a sign of what our real winter is going to be like, especially since our school district only scheduled two snow days into the calender, and they already used them. If we get the weather some are predicting we will be in school until July. But in true Colorado style, the snow was basically gone in two days and the temp was up to 60 degree's by the next Monday.

O'well. Fro had fun. I woke her up Wednesday morning (the first day of the snow fall) with guess what, it snowed last night and there is no school today. She sat right up in bed and said YEAH! Not sure which she was more excited about, no school or the snow. Which ever she had a great time playing in the snow. It wasn't wet enough to make snowmen of snow balls so we made snow angels, attempted a fort and just ran around in it. I have concluded that snow is really for the kids, they enjoy it much more than adults, at least this adult.

Fro is not happy at all about the snow!

Snow Angels!!!!!

No, the snow isn't THAT deep, Fro is just burying herself in it. This is Wednesday afternoon, it continues to snow the rest of the day and all night so double what you see on the cars and you'll get the idea.
