@theoldsoapman: Every day the storm clouds begin to build because the fall cooler weather absorbs any moisture that’s available. It rises to great heights and when it hits the Rocky Mountains, it releases its water. This time of year it could release up to 2 feet of snow in the higher elevations. Of course I’m being overly optimistic, we’ve had a drought for over a year now. It’s so nice to have you view these wonderful fleeting moments here in Colorado! I hope someday you’ll find a time to visit this beautiful country!
