It's SNOWING just west of Denver in the burbs

[eleny]

We're just 8 miles west of the city and not in the mountains, either. Rainy all day and now it's snowing. Yipes!

4. I was hiking in shorts

and t-shirt yesterday. Today, inside on the net, chilly and rain. Tonight and tomorrow snow.

Don't put away the t-shirts and shorts just yet.

This is Colorado in the fall.

Me feet's is itching to ski....

8. Weather isn't freaking out in Colorado

This is just how Colorado is. It's snowing in the heart of Denver too.

10. Dammit I miss Colorado.

:cry:

[_ed_]

11. SNOW!!!!

14. I see a few aspen leaves still clinging to the tree...

Judy Miller has missed her vacation...they have already turned... :)

I'm not that far from you...you've got a little more snow than me...

[_ed_]

21. Yeah - that tree still has a few left

Where do you live?

19. It always looks so pretty

but breaks your back when you're shoveling it.

This is why I'm moving South from New York.

12. Wow.

We've got family there. They tried to get us to move to Colorado, and we did spend a summer there, but I would never survive that climate. It's way too harsh and extreme for me. 30 degrees and snowing one day, 70 and melting the next, then back to snow ... and it's sooo dry at times ... and the high altitude ...

Colorady is pretty, but I'll never leave my coast! Love that Pacific Ocean moderating the climate. I'll take the rain.

13. It's snowing a little in the Springs this morning....

also...

15. Still coming down here in Lakewood

I need to go to the grocery store later. Yipee!

I just hope this doesn't break cottonwood branches. I remember that freak snow we had in the 90s. It was in September and we lost a few major limbs off our trees. So far it doesn't look that bad.

[DearAbby]

16. Started about 1 am when I noticed it last night.

still snowing here in Golden. White stuff sticking to the grassy areas.

[Kenneth ken]

17. I hope your trees survive as well

I've got one broken already today. It was about 4 years old. Trunk wasn't stout enough to support the snow accumulated in the branches. This is a heavy, wet snow we're getting.

:hi:

[eleny]

18. Sorry about your tree

We have very old cottonwoods that grow along the old irrigation ditches. Two in our yard and they're giants. So far, hubby sez there are small branches falling around the neighborhood. No big limbs down. Yeah, this wet snow is so heavy. I'm concerned about the slushiness sticking to the leaves and freezing tonight.

[Maine Mary]

20. You have my sympathy

It's cold enough here for the woodstove but not THAT bad. :-( I hope it goes away for you soon.

[fleabert]

22. I am so jealous!

I am so ready for snow in the mountains...tahoe had better start building up a base soon, if I am going to get my fix before thanksgiving! I cannot wait to ski! we may hit Winter Park this season as well, that place is amazing!
