What month do you think the first snowfall will hit the Colorado high
country? Basically, when will you look up at the divide and see the
white stuff. Vote now and think snow!

Okay, we live in different worlds, my friend! Though I don’t pay tremendous attention to first snow (though, of course, you have to note it), I am myself a bit obsessed with fall foliage, which, I am sad to say, has not been what it once was for the last 5-6 years at least. But I still live for that elusive, ever-moving moment of “peak” – when red, orange, and yellow conspire to set the world on fire with color. It’s not so much a slice of time but a wave that – when it’s right – rolls over the valley over the course of minutes, hours, days, or weeks. But it’s different now than it once was, which is tragic.
