March In Colorado

Posted on | March 16, 2008 at 10:18 pm | Comments Off

Looks like we’re getting our first big snowstorm of the month today. March is typically the snowiest month in this area. The good thing is that since it usually warms up pretty fast after the storm, the snow melts faster than it does in the dead of winter. The bad thing is that it’s usually wet, heavy snow which makes shoveling difficult and injures a lot of backs.

Here’s a photo from my porch of the start of the storm: Sunday evening around 6:30. There’s a chance we might not get all too much, but at this point that’s looking more and more unlikely and we could get 10 or more inches around here. Looks like the St Patrick’s Day morning commute is going to be a bear. I’ll try to take another picture tomorrow to compare with this one.
