Was planning to go to the foothills for a hike in the snow, but minutes after I left it started really dumping (after half-heartedly snowing off and on all morning and not amounting to much), so I quickly changed plans and took a walk in Schmitz Park instead.

Up until today, it’s been a real dud of a winter for those of us who like interesting weather, which has been something of a surprise, given that La Niña years tend to have below-average temperatures and above-average precipitation. Maybe that pattern is about to change.
