Lifes a beach....or is it a blizzard?

We were off work on Tuesday and it was nice when we stepped outside at 10 am. Approx 60 degrees.
We ran down to the mall to walk around. The local news said the temp was supposed to drop throughout the day and start to snow that evening. We were out all day, and around 3 we went back to the hotel. Bonnie still had a desire to do more shopping (I did not) so she dropped me off and ran to the local goodwill.

Bonnie is off to the goodwill!!

Around 6 I stepped out and took a picture of the lot.....no snow yet, but it was raining a little.

Where's the snow?

another weather misdiagnosed

Then around 6:30 it turned to a sleet like rain. We stayed inside and watched X factor. Around we went back outside and the snow was starting to build up. It was about 9 pm.

Well finally....there's a little snow

Yup...It is snowing

We went back in and Bonnie laid down to sleep, while I got online to play a bit of facebook poker. My mother was online so I chatted with her for a while. She wanted to see how the snowstorm was doing, so I stepped back outside to take another  picture to measure the progress of mother nature.

Now it is really coming down!

This could be a good old fashioned snow storm

where are my ski's?

After a little more poker, it was off to bed. We arose around 8 in the morning and we stepped out to see the
snow amounts....

somebody shovelled already

8 to 10 inches

Bonnie hasn't seen this white stuff for a couple of years

So that was the excitement from wintery Colorado...Only 3 more days and we are off to Iowa!!!
