Yes, it's springtime in CO alright, a slight attitude adjustment may be necessary  My Chevy pickup outside has about 2" of snow on it, the westy is snug in the garage, ready and waiting for another (nicer) day. Supposed to be in the mid 70's by the weekend. |

Anything above 8,000 feet was still under a foot of snow as of last week. Probably got another foot last night. It's going to be awhile before we get to do any real camping. Dang.

We had a crazy drive back from Syncro Solstice yesterday. Heavy snow from Summit County to my house in Denver. My brother, visiting from Baton Rouge for his first time in Colorado, was simply stunned.

The Wild West needs all the moisture it can get, even if that means snow in June!

I'd bet that by tomorrow only traces in the shade or where they piled it up with plows will still be around. |

My father landscaped the yard in trees that could take the climate, we seem to have come through. Another friend has a front yard full of broken branches.
Winston is grumbling in the garage. I need to change out his brake/clutch fluid, but I'm too tired today. I'd LIKE to do it outside in case I have the same horrible experience I did with the pressure bleeder leaking and spraying, but we'll see how fast it dries out.
VW's on the Green is next Sunday! I'd like to get Winston washed, waxed, and prettified. Thanks for worrying about us.
Best!
