Springtime in the Rockies

We've had quite the change in weather this week. On Monday afternoon it was 60.7° F (15.9° C) at my house. This morning when I took this snowy photo in the front yard it was -1.5° F (-18.6° C) here. That's a drop of  over 62° F (34° C) in just over a day!
Luckily it's going to warm up quickly again. But it makes for a fun Skywatch Friday weather story!

    Gotta love the weather in the plains! I grew up in South Dakota so I know exactly what you mean. I see my hometown got slammed with snow today! I'm happy it stays up in the mountains around here.

    I'm to the point of thinking I am never going to be able to put my winter clothes away! It was 3 degrees on the way to school yesterday. Warmer today, but still chilly. Enjoy our beautiful sun.♥♫

    The snow looks wind blown. That would make it a very nasty time to be outside. Great morning shot!

    Isn't that like April all over? You never know what to expect but even April will have to settle down one day.

    Our son just sent a photo of their snow-covered yard (near Boulder). I thought he meant it was taken today (Monday), so I guess it's still winter at your house too.
