Fall In The Rockies

Fall in the Rockies means rapidly changing weather, in addition to other things like the beautiful changing aspen, hibernating bears, etc.

Less than 24 hours ago I was riding my bike around a suburban Denver metro area park enjoying a high of 80 degrees.

Now I am sitting at my computer on Sunday morning watching it snow outside.

The snow in Denver is almost right on time -- our average first snow falls on October 19. Today is the 21st.

The beauty is it will be leave almost as fast as it came with sunny skies and a return into the 50s by tomorrow.

My family in Arkansas says oh my gosh, how do you deal with that. We'd be stuck in the house, maybe for a few days!! It's true, just mention the word flurry in the forecast there and the store's shelves go bare. ;-)
