Finally it snowed

Here's a picture from Friday morning, March 27.




And here's a picture from Wednesday, right before.

We're so grateful for the snow, and especially the moisture. March is supposed to be Denver's wettest month, but until yesterday we had not had one drop.
FEBRUARY 2009 BECAME DENVER'S LEAST SNOWIEST FEBRUARY SINCE SNOWFALL RECORDS
BEGAN IN 1882. ONLY A TRACE (LESS THAN 0.1 INCH) WAS RECORDED NEAR THE
DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

There is a water resource workshop being held here today. Had planned on attending, but intentional exercise does take the energy level down.
Will be eager to hear about the meet and greet, with maybe some photos.
Never did get the photo to upload, but may try again sometime.
