Spring Snowstorm
| A
spring snowstorm rolled through Wednesday morning. About 2am I was up
and noticed a light rain outside. Seeing outside again at 8am, there
was 12" of snow on the ground - and sticking to many vertical surfaces.
It is a great snowball / snowman packing snow! Yesterday, on the drive from Illinois, I had the air conditioning on in the car. Temps outside hit 70F. A great spring day. Less than 24 hours later - a heavy blanket of white. I well enjoy the spring snows of this region. Warm temps one day with a clean coating of white the next. With warm temps the norm, the new coat will melt away in short order. Driving south on I-25 between Cheyenne WY and Fort Collins CO |
| Passing under a highway info sign - impending storm on the way. With the warm temps, the windshield is coated in bug spats - a first for the coming summer season. |
| Heavy wet snow sticking to the door. |
| While high winds were from the North, many faces of vertical walls were coated with sticky snow. |
| LED stop light lamps - They do not dissipate enough heat energy to melt snow... Look thrice and move slowly. |
| East/West
road - power lines downed but more trucks are needed to extract the
chained up power company trucks from the snow filled ditch. |

| Horsetooth mountain - top right corner. |
| The sun's out! |
