alas, the dusting of snow we got yesterday was indeed not enough to be an "official" snow, but my handy local news station does have some fun facts about fall snow in denver:
- denver's earliest snowfall was sept. 3, 1961
- september averages 2.1 inches of snowfall in denver
- the average date for the first snowfall is oct. 19; last year, the first snow fell on nov. 14
i had no idea we average 2 inches of snow in september! we just washed our cars (by hand, in our very own driveway) on saturday - had i known we might get snow, i think i would have waited. except that wally is pretty and white again, so maybe not. anyway, i am yet again glad that we live in the denver metro rather than the foothills or the tiny towns around (particularly south) the area - they're predicting 6-12" in the foothills and along the palmer divide. we may get an inch or two, but most likely just rain. and thankfully after that, colorado will return to its normal sunny self - i say thankfully because we're heading up to winter park with some friends this weekend, and i would rather have the predicted 55-60* sun than the current 30* snow.
