Ah, springtime in Denver. You get teased with 75 degree days followed by a foot of snow the next day. Though we haven't gotten the big springtime blizzard this year. We're usually good for at least one of those. It was supposed to snow/rain today, but the sky is blue, though it is a bit breezy. Lots of wind this year. Hate the wind. The three aspen outside my "office" window at home are starting to leaf.
Now some folk complain that Denver doesn't have a spring. To which I respond, "Huh?" What else do you call days that are getting warmer, but not yet hot, mixed with cooler days of rain. We'll stay in that type of pattern from the end of March until sometime in May, when suddenly we're in the 80s just about every day (that'll creep up into summer in the 90s in June/July/August, with a week or two in the 100s during that span). We don't go from 30-degree weather to the 90s. We have a couple of bumpy months where in a week we'll have 70s and 40s, usually with lots of moisture. I'm pretty sure that's a good definition of spring.
Here are some springy pictures of Denver I took last weekend. And due to popular demand I've made each picture clicky to make it larger.
