We had our first real snow of the season today. It's pretty early for snow but this was legit, big, fat snowflakes coming down hard and accumulating on the ground! There was maybe half an inch of snow on my car which I had to clean off!
The first snow in Boulder always makes me laugh because I am usually on campus and this year was no exception for viewing the hilarity of the out-of-state freshmen (and some of the out-of-state nonfreshmen who seem to have memories which fail them this time of year) walking around campus in their shorts, mini skirts, flip flops, and every long-sleeved item of clothing they own and donning a look of shock, cold, and confusion on their faces as to why this crazy state of Colorado has snow in early October! They'll all show up to school next week wearing their new winter coats and boots they will buy this weekend once they realize they're in Colorado, which can have snow at nearly any time of year.
