only in Colorado

Tuesday night at midnight we were under winter storm warning.  While the warning didn't start till midnight, the snow started early in the evening and by 9:30 it was starting to cover the grass.  Wednesday morning I awoke to more snow and no school.  Thursday it continued to dump snow on us.  It was roughly a foot and a half of snow in 2 days.  Then today, school was back in session.  The main roads at 7:30 am were wet but not bad.  The side roads were a little slick still though.  The sun was shining and by 11:30 am I had shed my coat and was comfortable in my long sleeve tee shirt.  I even cracked the windows on the way home from the grocery store (the high was high 40's today).  By the time I left to get Will from school the snow was completely melted from my driveway and probably 10 inches or less left on my grass.  Only in Colorado can we have a dumping of well over a foot of snow for 2 whole days and then the next day it is beautiful and halfway melted!!!!!!!  So we may not get a true fall but we do get 60 degree days in January sometimes so I guess I'll concede that it balances out.  The boys loved the snow and 2 days of no school.  I love that it is melting quickley so that driving will not stay messy for long!
