The Denver area had a snowstorm this past Friday into Saturday which dumped 2 up to 10 inches on the region, depending on which cloud you happened to be under at the time. Here in South Central Denver, we received at best a couple of inches, while in Boulder, where I took the photograph on the left of the Chautauqua Dining Hall, they received over 7. Not surprisingly, there was not a single diner out on the patio having brunch.
However, the parking lot at Chautauqua was overflowing this past Saturday afternoon, with people heading up the trail into the Flatirons. And Chautauqua Park itself looked very picturesque, as seen in the photograph on the right. No one was having a picnic quite yet, but according to Kathy Sabine, the Chief Meteorologist at 9 News in Denver, this very well could be our last snow of the season, and those picnic tables could be in demand very soon indeed. But was it really our last snow? I know sports betting is legal here in Colorado (with all those damn ads they run on television, how could you not), but can you bet on the weather, too? If so, I might just head up to those mountain casinos and make a fortune if one more snowstorm comes through. I like the odds.
