This past Thursday it reached almost 90 degrees here in Denver. Friday and Saturday, the view from the window of my condo looked like it does in the photograph above. Although we did not get much accumulation in Denver, the foothills, mountains, and southern suburbs received 6 to 12 inches of snow, depending on the location. This with less than two weeks until June. Of course, by next Thursday, the temperature will be back in the 80s, which is why people here always say "Springtime in the Rockies" whenever a late spring snowstorm hits, even though Denver is not really in the Rockies. The entire Front Range is actually the western edge of the Great Plains. But what the hell - that saying does sound very wise and pithy, kind of like me.
