Spring you say? I see quite a bit of snow on the ground. That looks like CO spring.

Looks like the aspen were smart to not start leafing out yet.

Hi Jameel, yes it was spring, early April a couple of years ago. I have been snowed on in Rocky Mountain National Park in June, almost summer.

Hi Alan the trees that survive up there have to be pretty weather wise.
We have a cottonwood tree in our front yard that predict early snow better that the weather man. Early leaves off means early snow and late leave drops mean late snow. When it get near time for snow I always consult with our weather tree!
