First snow of the season ('11-'12)

We got our first snow yesterday. Don't know the official totals, but I'd guess that we were in the range of 2-3 inches on the north side of town while a friend down near Fountain had nothing.  It was a bit hard to tell since the snow was blowing a lot at first. Then, it got very heavy & wet. It's hard to transition to these suddenly cold days, but we'll be back in the 60s & 70s for the week. I still remember the weekend that we came out here to find a house. It was 80F on the Saturday and we woke up to snow and 35F on Sunday. That was during the month of October. So, all is normal ;)

White River National Forest

My husband went up to the mountains to prepare for Elk hunting season. It will be interesting to hear how the mountains look now. Pikes Peak looks very beautiful from down here.
