Fat Tuesday In The Snow

Yesterday was Fat Tuesday, the traditional day of celebration before the start of Lent, which of course begins today on Ash Wednesday.  In New Orleans, the epicenter of the celebration, I imagine it was warm and sunny, while here in Denver it was cold and snowy.  However, in Colorado most snowy days are followed by sunshine, and the temperatures invariably warm up, as opposed to places like Boston, where snowy days are followed by even snowier and far colder days.  And so I am not going to complain.  Plus, spring begins in just over 4 weeks.  Hallelujah!
