Native pinto

Who better than a pinto girl to show off our snow … and how much had already melted by late afternoon?

Thanks, Chipeta. We appreciate your lovely cooperation!

Fascinating mix of snow on the ground and still on some tree branches while south-facing slopes have nearly all slurped up all that snowy-good moisture (despite the lack of sunshine most of the day). We got maybe an inch … 2 max. It was melting while it was falling. Eh. We’re desperate for ANY moisture. I think the temp hit 40F. … The forecasters claim this morning’s low temp will be 7 or thereabouts. Yeesh. But it’ll keep some of that snow on the ground and soaking in slowly, under another full-blue Colorado sky.

We’re also super glad for even the small amount of snow we got (other areas got a couple of inches to many inches more). Unfortunately, there’s nothing on the near horizon, but always we hope. šŸ™‚

Pretty Chipeta trotting through the snow is a beautiful sight! Glad you had two inches too, TJ! We do need so much more.

Huge relief … and yes, we need a huge amount more. šŸ™‚ This morning (10F at 5 a.m., 8F at 7:30 a.m.!), I’m still happy about the snow still on the ground under that beautiful blue sky!
