Denver got it's first snowfall of the year this past Friday, tieing a record snowless streak set in 1887. It wasn't much of a snow storm, but hopefully, it will calm down all the weather forecasters on the local television newscasts, who have been absolutely manic about the lack of snow. They take the weather very seriously here. And by the way, the building in the background of the photograph above is the Ghost Building, built in 1889 for real estate developer Allen M. Ghost. It was scheduled for demolition at it's original location, but a local architect disassembled the facade and reassembled it at this site. And after getting - officially, anyway - three tenths of an inch of snow and ending that snowless streak? The hysteria seen on the local weather reports will end, and we will get back to warmer temperatures, sunny skies, and continued outdoor dining here in Denver. Still another upside to climate change, at least for now.
