Crazy Colorado

To say the least, the weather here in Denver has been topsy-turvy this Spring. I took the photo on the left last week when Julia and I drove home from work - it was sunny and cool on our morning commute, and then this happened by noon. Sliding buses and cars littered the streets, wheels spinning ineffectively. Visibility was hampered by blinding, high velocity gobs of snow. Thankfully Julia's car has excellent Blizzak snow tires - which I recommend to anyone who lives in this state - so we got home safely.

After a mostly dry and snowless winter, it's been pretty strange to be beset by the sporadic and intense snow we've seen in the last couple of weeks. Even today the snow in the mountains was so fierce, I-70 closed down, making it impossible for us to drive up for snowboarding until tomorrow. Ah well, it's all part of the adventure of living in Colorado!
