I am thrilled with the snow we got in Boulder....somewhere around 18" since yesterday.  This morning is beautiful...the sun hitting the fresh snow and glimmering like diamonds, or glitter glue the kids enjoy.   

I know many of you out there are thinking, big deal, snow.  You've seen so much already this winter, and a March blizzard is more of a nightmare for you, than a thing of joy.  But, we in Colorado are different....this is a semi-arid climate and most of our moisture for the year comes from these snowfalls.  If we don't get some big dumps our reservoirs dry up and our mountains catch fire and burn, burn, burn. 

And, when we do get snow in Boulder it isn't a long term commitment....it is usually gone within a day or so... most of what we got yesterday will be gone tomorrow....turning everything green and moist!  

Here's some shots from just now:

Not a good day to sit under the plum tree and read!

 And the trash cans...looking more like trash gnomes
