The turning of the seasons in Colorado is still a new and wondrous thing to me. While I did “seasonal” weather in Kingman and Flagg in the 1900’s and early 2000’s it wasn’t as dramatic as it is in Colorado in terms of weather. In my mind the fall starts in September but in actuallity it starts somewhere in October… this to my desert rat mind does not compute. The days being almost 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night in september tells my brain that things are turning, but the green leaves and the mostly green grass tells another story.
I think this is a side effect of a throughly western mind that must categorize and classify everything presented to them, and it’s a bit of a disconnect. On the flip side my birthday is in early April, and it’s always pretty good weather around then in Arizona. In Colorado it’s dealer’s choice.
it’s the little things of getting used to in the second winter in Colorado, knowing that there is time. But it will still come sooner rather then later but there will be days of sunshine and days of cloudy it’s all a crapshoot.
The thing that still boggles my mind is that March is the snowiest month and April is number 2…. W. T. F. ?
Did you just read a entry about the weather… yes. yes you did. And I make no apologies.
