Having waded through the slush to go do some necessary shopping, Iā€™m not terribly excited about this. The maple trees in my backyard hadnā€™t even changed colour yet! ---

Itā€™s been 17 years since Iā€™ve shoveled snow; but I can stand on my porch and see the snow that fell last night in the La Sal Mountains, up there where it belongs.šŸ†’ ---

Two inches and still coming down up here. Itā€™s early, and it can kiss my ass. ---

Heavens! It was 80 degrees here and we almost finished painting the house. It was a beautiful day - I had a good vantage point from the roof. ---

It snowed here Friday, Saturday, and today. It only stuck for a while on Friday, but itā€™s cold enough now that if it decides to start again overnight itā€™ll stay around for a few hours until it gets above freezing again. Friday was fun, because we got a couple of inches in the morning and then it melted. Once it got down to freezing again it started up. I had to clear snow off my car and then scrape ice (a thin layer, but fucking ice) off the windows when I left work. I didnā€™t mind the snow, but ice is another story. Itā€™s supposed to be warmer for the next week, at least. Good. I donā€™t have my snow tires on my car yet. ---

The white stuff will be here soon enough, but the 80 degrees that we enjoyed this weekend is almost unheard of in the upper Midwest at this time of year. Forecasters are calling for a ā€œsevere winterā€ for usā€¦but they wonā€™t tender a guess if that means more snow or more cold or both. ---

Itā€™s a typical spring day here: 27, fine earlier this morning, but this afternoon itā€™s beginning to cloud over. I think thereā€™s a thunderstorm on the way. ---

> [@Alpine](#): > > The snow line is about 1500 feet above my house. > > Iā€™m not ready. Seriously? In Telluride? It just in the last ten minutes turned from drizzle to snow here in Boulder. If this keeps up we could easily have an inch or two by morning. ---
