Lynn, It's quite possible that Colorado could get more snow overall than we do here in Ottawa, being in the mountains and all. I remember driving through Colorado in the early 1980's. We took our time, three glorious days. We drove all the way from Loveland, past Denver, right under and along the Rockies, nearly got clipped by low-flying military planes in a parade in Leadville, knuckle-bit our way through Ouray, stayed overnight in Durango, and then drove on to Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was breath-takingly beautiful. We did have a scary mix of rain and snow while driving through Ouray, something that surprised me, it being the end of June. Even though it was over 20 years ago now, those images are forever engraved in my mind...nice refuge to go back to whenever I need a lofty place to rest my restless eagle heart.

Slightly off-topic but wonderful memories.
