Learned reading 5280, the local weather blog, that May is our area’s 8th snowiest month. That’s out of 9 months, with September being the least snowiest, averaging 1.1 inches while May averages 1.7 inches. These are Denver averages; we get more snow up here on Shadow Mountain.

The weather out here continues to teach this pupil its ways. I’m guessing it will take years to integrate the patterns. And climate change alters them, so new shifts will come, ones that don’t reflect old averages or historic seasonal expectations.

As Heraclitus said, you can’t step into the same weather pattern twice. Not with climate change.
