Crazy Mad Spring

It is spring in Colorado which means total weather extremes. As per my last post, I was in T-Shirt and Shorts on Thursday.

By Friday night rain set in followed by snow, then more snow, and more lasting until midday Sunday. This isn't the usual, fluffy light Champagne powder that Colorado sees, this was wet, heavy, slushy snow. The snow was persistent and heavy, in fact way too heavy for the snow blower which meant myself and Ethan shoveled. FOUR times. Fun and Games!

We did make it through the snow storm to the cinema which was probably a totally stupid idea. The car was being blown around and the visibility was horrendous, however, as the snow was wet the roads were mostly wet and slushy so not much slipping around! BUT it was great to set out and watch the incredible #TheJungleBook. The cinema has reclining seats and food service at your chair; blue cheese burger, fries and a great movie- pure heaven!

On a good note we live somewhere that got hit by only about 10" (not how much fell as it melted and compressed, but how much stayed). Some areas got over 45- 50" (nearly 4ft)!!!

Now the snow has stopped and is melting at great speed. By tomorrow evening most areas should be fairly clear again bar the snow banks and shaded spots.

Enough snow already... we want sunshine and BBQs!
