Tulip Break.

While we are still about a month from a full outbreak of spring weather in the city, I thought I post some tulip pictures to get us into the spring feeling as we wrap up March.

At Washington Park.

I hope you enjoyed this brief intermission of color.

Early Spring Means Shoulder Season

|

It’s shoulder season out there. Spring as we know, doesn’t come to the mountains until mid-May, when things finally green up.

But by now, one can pretty much take it for granted that a lot of energy of winter is diminished as each day becomes harder for it to be cold with the sun’s angle growing stronger.

Lots of mud and “surprise” snow in the mountains will be left for some time, but eventually it will dry up and green up too. Figure May 10th to be safe.

Green Up Date

The Green Up Day is when leaves start popping out from the trees.
