Monday Denver received it's first snow of the season. It usually arrives around this time of year, so it is nothing unusual, but after a weekend in the 70s and 80s it was still a shock to the system. As I was heading downstairs and through the clubhouse of my condo building, I saw steam rising from the pool. I knew the water was warmer than the air, but I still don't think it was a good day for a swim.
I got in my car, and headed to work through the snow. The weather forecasters said we received 2 to 6 inches, with the higher totals to the west of town, but since the ground was so warm, the snow melted as soon as it hit the pavement - at least here in central Denver. I had the radio on, and the traffic report said that University Boulevard was closed between Exposition and Alameda due to downed power lines. I thought to myself, "hey, wait a minute, that's right where I am." No wonder I was stuck in traffic. I wound up having to make a detour and wait in still another line to make the turn back onto University Boulevard, which of course made me late for work. And let me get this straight - I own a condo in Florida, but rent it out and live here? The mind boggles.
