Yesterday the weather was absolutely beautiful. It was in the high 70s, sunny, and clear. There was just a little bit of wind, but for the most part it was a gorgeous spring day. With weather like that you'd think that we've successfully made our way out of winter and into spring. But this is Colorado and spring in Colorado means that there can still be a chance for snow. In spite of the high temperatures yesterday, the forecast today was that temperatures would start in the 50s or 60s but would then drop significantly throughout the day and that there would be a chance for rain or snow later tonight. It's a little after noon and it is already raining. At times the rain has turned into graupel, a smaller and softer form of hail. I even heard some thunder.
Even though I was looking forward to the warmer weather, we definitely need the moisture of either rain or snow. The past few months have been extremely dry for us, and while it's nice to not have to drive to work over snow and ice it's just been too dry. We've already had a few brush and wildfires, so we need all the moisture we can get.
I was planning on going out today to do some shopping, but with the weather like this I think it would be nicer to stay home and enjoy it. I have my sliding door open a little bit because I absolutely love the smell of the rain. It's definitely very cozy.
