Arapahoe County In a Snowstorm

Richard Stevens:

Temperatures reached only 30 degrees today; winds were 6+ mph, gusts to 12 mph.  Around noon, it started to snow rather rapidly.

Rebecca and I drove through Cherry Creek Reservoir State Park while doing chores.  The 10 minute delay which lasted 20 minutes was frustrating.  Road construction should last a week or more.

It was snowing quite hard when we scoped the telephone poles lining the southwest marina.  A Glaucous Gull and Lesser Black-backed Gull made the effort worthwhile.  Visibility was poor; the plan drive to Aurora Reservoir was scrubbed.

As expected, the Burrowing Owl observed yesterday was not out in the inclement weather today (Saturday, 3/22).
