No, this is not an archive photo from February. It is in fact, May 1, 2008, in Vail and locals go about their business amid the falling snow.
ENOUGH snow already. Yes, the calendar – we checked it many times – does say that it is indeed May, yet it is absolutely DUMPING snow in Vail … and from what we understand, throughout Colorado’s Western Slope.
You might call us hypocrites, since back in November we were trying to sell our own lungs trying to conjure up snow, but we would really like you to join us in an anti-snow chant.
Ready … one, two, three: Snow, snow go away. We want it to be warm in May. Snow, snow go away, we don’t want to freeze today.
Excellent … thank you. That should work. According to the forecast, the snow is supposed to cease Friday afternoon and (sigh) recommence on Sunday.
Did we mention that people are still skiing at Arapahoe Basin? We might just have to take our urge to engage in warm-weather activities West; to the desert. Check out our desert biking guide.
Otherwise, do whatever you can to make the snow stop. Implore the heavens. Fill your windows with large paintings of green hills and sunshine. Feel free to post a comment (sans bad words, please) about how YOU feel about snow in May.
