Today Metro Denver was hit by a hail storm. I managed to snap a few pictures and take a short video. The storm lasted for ever leaving more than an inch of hail on the ground. It looked like we had had a snow fall.

Crazy weather.

Despite we have been told by the weather man that Wednesday night could bring another blanket of snow there are more encouraging signs of spring.

My lilacs are starting to bud. The forsythia is flowering in the back yard, our lawn is greening up.

This past weekend I cleaned up the backyard--eight bags of garbage. Lots of fallen branches, leaves, garbage that had blown into our backyard and a ton of things that the dogs brought into the backyard.

I also tuned up my bike and my daughter's bike.

Then today, another sure sign and one that I love to see every year.

Yesterday afternoon it began snowing in Metro-Denver. Just a wisp. Not much accumulation. By the evening there was about an inch or so. Today we kept getting snow--so there are about 4 inches. However, in the midst of all of it we are being told that the temperature will plummet.

It will be -2 F or roughly -19 C tonight. BRRRRR! Needless to say, the Napoleon is well stocked up and burning away.
