We woke up Monday morning (October 10) to a light dusting of snow. Bill took these photos early in the morning, because it melted off quickly. It was a very wet snow and left lots of mud and fun puddles for playing in later in the day. As you can tell from the top photo, our aspen trees still have not dropped their leaves. The colors were an awesome contrast to the white snow. This is the BEST time of the year in Alamosa!
It is rare to get snow this early in October and the "old-timers" warn that this is just the beginning of what will be a long and cold winter. This is not so great news with the anticipated 60% increase in heating costs. We have a good supply of firewood and plan to make good use of the woodstove this winter.
