Snow

They have been forecasting snow all week long and finally on Thursday we had some. It started lite then turned into a blizzard then stopped, started again and snowed moderately all night. It's funny how the weather forecasters around here can never get it right though. First it was supposed to start Wednesday night and snow lightly into Thursday, yet when I got up at 2am it was only partly cloudy, no snow had fallen. Then about 5am it started snowing and that lasted about an hour and finally around 9am it started falling pretty good.

These same weather people also said that the farther north of Longmont you went the less likely of snow accumulation would occur. What happened was it started snowing pretty hard with blizzard conditions way up in Greeley and slowly worked it's way south. So by our house around 11:30am we had a pretty good blizzard going on and it was pointless to try and shovel the driveway. About 3pm it had stopped snowing so I ventured out to shovel the driveway off and the weather service called off the blizzard warning and then said the snow would stop by midnight. Well it didn't, it snowed all night and was lightly snowing until around 7:30am.

I'm glad it finally snowed, the grass around here was getting pretty dry and luckly we had the yard arreated last weekend. I can't remember when the last snow fell around here so it's been a pretty long time since we've had any mosture. The good thing about spring snow is it's usually very wet and that should help the lawn out a ton.
