RAS43....I know just what you mean. I live on the Palmer Divide. We had snow last Wednesday..a couple of inches, and are expecting another 2-6 inches tomorrow, or should I say beginning overnight. Been a while since we had this type of winter!! That being said, this is the reason many won't plant their annual flower beds until at least Mother's day. I have seen snow at the upper elevations every month of the year. At the lower elevations I have seen it in early June and late August. Ahhhh life in the Rockies
