In which the expected happens

Snow before Halloween in Denver isn't uncommon; it's expected. I recall one of the largest snowfalls I experienced in Denver to be just before Halloween while we were living downtown. There are great pictures somewhere.

Last night or early this morning it snowed - not a lot, but an inch or two; enough to completely cover everything. A snowstorm earlier this week had already dumped about 3". It had already completely melted, of course. But the Halloween decorations are out, and so there's an interesting confusion of seasons going on.

Remember, "winter" is exactly two months away.
