I was in Colorado Springs, just slightly higher in elevation than Denver........Denver and Casper were both mile-high cities, But the Silver State had spring when we of the Equality State were pretty snowed in come March and April. That Good Friday storm was the worse I remember, but I'm not sure I had the year right. Also, some of those pictures I chose just looked like what we had. I'm not sure where they were actually taken. 12 feet of snow in two days can look pretty much the same, wherever else it falls. The Rockies frequently have huge snow buildups, in whatever state of the US or Canada in which they are closer to the sun.Reminds me of the Colorado Rockies in the mid 70s.When living in Wyoming for 35 years, almost every year was a drought. The only year that I recall having decent rainfall was the year following the Good Friday snowstorm in or near to 1983. Found some pictures that are very close to what I remember. We were housebound for nearly a week.Yeah, with any luck we'll have a colder, wetter winter this year. Well luck for us in the drought stricken areas not so much for people in areas that are already wet.It's been a deluge around here for a week. Today, though, there's been a slight letup, although the cloud cover is ever present. It's also 20 degrees colder than usual Octobers. It makes you wonder if the North Pole has moved a little toward the south... Nah, they say it's all water temperature in greater oceanaIn the last 4 days we've had mist and rain though mostly mist as the clouds are literally hugging the ground. Looks like we might get a brief respite then more rain/mist. That's a good thing however I miss the bright warm sun...........
