My First Snow in Golden

2013-10-18_06-57-22_772

This morning I woke to a white and muffled world.  While it had snowed a few weeks ago in Golden, I managed to miss the previous storm due to being out of town.  This time I got to experience my first snow in Colorado.

We got about an inch up at my townhouse.

On campus we had about an inch when I arrived but by the time the storm blew past we ended up with just under two inches.  The sidewalks and roads stayed mostly clear.

At about 9:30am the sun burst through the clouds and everything became stunningly beautiful.

“A Friend to Lean On” even had a dusting of snow.

Looking across Kafadar Commons.  All of the trees still have their leaves in Golden.
