I've got several large broken tree limbs laying on my yard. I was so lucky to not have lost power like so many here did from the storm. Dodged a bullet.

The snow stopped last night where I live in Colorado. It is still cold but all the snow has melted.

I hope the snow melts into the Colorado River because California & Nevada desperately need the water from that river.

@Desert Lily We have been in drought conditions for some time now. We are so grateful to have this right now, but I believe it's going to soak in to our dry soil and would be shocked to see any of it help anyone down river. It's so scary to see all this drought over so many western states and all the wildfires already.

@SilleeMee I've been waiting for a weather report from you. How much did you get? Windy and chilled down to 80° here.

@Desert Lily It snowed East of the Continental Divide which means it'll eventually make its way to the Mississippi River, not West to the Colorado or Rio Grande. So sad

I am really praying for water here. I went through the drought here in 1979 here in California. Water was so restricted. We were using shower water for plants, and other things. We had to get these water restricted shower heads for shower, so there wasn't much to spare. Toilet flushing went by these standards. If it yellow, be mellow....if it's brown flush it down. We used bricks in toilet tank. Lawns were brown, before having brown lawns was fashionable. Pool business were restricted, no new pools. It was the recession too, so most went out of business. We are headed there again. The drought is so quick. The year befor last we had rain, and things looked good....one year without rain and here we are

I'm east of you a couple of states but have been to CO many times to see my sister. We didn't have snow (we had a LOT this winter and spring) but we have had huge hail, another derecho, and tons of rain. It was 90 degrees 2 days ago, 48 degrees yesterday, and it's 38 degrees now. I'm ready for real spring and summer weather.

About 10 inches. It was very wet and heavy so it got packed down rather quickly. Had it been the usual fluffy stuff, that 10 inches could have been twice that at least.

It’s snowing again this morning here. *%^&%$

I’m sorry about your trees. What a pain that is.

It's snowing/raining here now...and cold!

@SilleeMee

You’re right about had this not been heavy wet snow and light fluffy instead, we’d (here) easily have at least 4 ft instead of 2 ft.

Of course the snow blower is of no use with this kind of snow and neither is my husband.

I’m thinking of moving to Florida and getting myself a pool boy.

@drizzellla,

You had snow and in New Jersey we almost hit 100 degrees!

@meallen616

You recently hit almost 100 degrees? Good Grief! I had no idea New Jersey got that hot.

Do you have an actual four seasons there?

Here in Colorado we have two seasons: snow and more snow.

Re: Snow in Colorado

meallen616 — Sun, 22 May 2022 14:19:09 GMT

@Malcontent,

We have four seasons, but, Spring is actually alot of rain, and, then it goes right into heat by Memorial Day. We usually have several heat waves (three or more days) sometimes longer. When Fall comes we are very happy with the crisp weather, we feel by then we earned it!

It's a little late in the season but still very beautiful. The first thing that comes to mind when I visit Colorado is it is God's country. With the Rocky Mountains this state is so beautiful.
