Default Colorado Snow

Dan,
Here's a nice snow pic for you. This is the view from our front deck a few weeks ago.

All this has melted and it's been warm and sunny here. I went kayaking on the Arkansas river yesterday afternoon. Just beautiful.

No, no, no...Dan D’Agostino said you can’t shovel sunshine when they moved from CT to AZ and I’m thinking he is right - at minimum snow needs to stay 45 minutes to the east in the Cascades, and over in the Olympics which we see from over a hundred miles away and not in the 206 area code, that’s too close!
