I don't get it . . .

I just can't get used to Colorado weather. I often feel ill prepared, it's chilly, so I overdress and then it warms up, or vice versa - it's warm, I under dress, and then the clouds blow in and the temperature drops. "Layers" is what the locals keep telling me. I'm not really a layers kind of a person. I'm a planner. I like to be prepared. I check out the weather forecast, plan my outfits accordingly, and wear them. We've had beautiful weather here for weeks, it's been in the 50s and 60s and sunny. I was sure winter was over, no more snow, when last week happened. It got chilly and was overcast most of the week (which isn't too common in Colorado, we get lots of sunshine), and then there was snow. Thursday a storm formed over Colorado and it snowed. We went up to the mountains that day to take my family (aunt, uncle, and cousins) and it was really snowing. Some places in the mountains got 1-2 feet of snow. It was nice because the snow was so soft, and Chae enjoyed snowboarding in the fresh powder, but me not so much. Visibility was so bad, and it was windy. Goggles or no goggles, I just couldn't see, which made me fall. On the plus side, falling on fresh powder doesn't hurt, it's really soft. I felt bad for my family, having come from Florida to this sudden cold front. Turns out it's what they wanted - to see lots of snow, so I was glad for them. I think God did them a little favor, and answered some of their prayers. My cousins had never seen this much snow, and had a blast. By the time we got home that evening, most of the snow in the area had melted. That's Colorado for you.
Anyway, back to the weather. So Sunday it warmed up again - 60's, yesterday was in the 70's and today is a whopping 80 degrees. So, you may ask, is the snow over for the season? Nope. Not so much. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 40's with pm rain/snow showers. Aye, aye, aye . . .
