Since the first of the month we've had 3 major snow events, each bringing about 3 inches or more. Nothing too serious; in fact, most of the Denver metro area got significantly more snow than we did. It's typical Colorado snow, though, which means that it'll snow overnight and we'll wake up to a crystalline snowfield, but the sun comes out immediately and will shine all day even if it remains cold. It's one of the reasons I can handle Colorado winters.
Still, that being said....it's about 9 in the morning now, bright blue skies and full sunshine and not a cloud in the sky...and it's still ten below zero. Yeesh! When I took the dog out for his morning business I was afraid he would freeze and get stuck....
This is what I found this morning when I woke up. Our front windows are great, but unfortunately they're only single pane, a design flaw if ever there was one. I know this house was built a long time ago, but surely someone must have realized recently that single pane windows are not feasible in Estes Park in the winter. (Our landlord said he would have a second pane put on when we signed the lease, but he hasn't come through yet. Hm.)
The good thing is that when the sun comes around the front of the house, it melts right off. It's just a little disconcerting the first time you see ice on the inside of your house.
In any event, we are staying warm and enjoying it all the same. The dog loves the snow.
Now, with any luck, I'll be able to get my car to start so I can make it to rehearsal tonight!
