Heavy rain and hail make it a great day to take the train. Until I get to the station.

As the Seasons Turn
Yup. Pretty much.
One reason I like both spring and autumn where I live.

No perceptible snow on the ground, but it’s cold enough this a.m. to flip on the heater for the first time. #COwx
A morning rainbow over Denver
We had showers this a.m., and ended up with a rainbow off to the northwest of downtown.
Do you like Craft Beers in Boulder? Gettin' caught in the rain?
Oops. Inadvertently posted this Privately in G+ rather than Publicly.
One further observation on the festival: I was probably in the 95th Percentile, age-wise. Gads. Still had a good time.

Do you like Craft Beers in Boulder? Gettin' caught in the rain?
The inaugural Boulder Craft Beer Festival ran into a bit of a downpour problem for about twenty minutes this afternoon. Actually, it worked out pretty well, since it broke the cycle of queue-pour-queue that everyone was in. Plus, everyone had a blast either getting soaked or huddling under one or the pop-ups or patio umbrellas (the good cheer being enhanced by, well, beer).
It was actually a lot of fun as an event (downpour notwithstanding). There were a couple dozen breweries there, almost all good (though almost all pouring at least one IPA, sigh), and while the lines eventually got long, by and large it didn't feel oppressively crowded (helped by a limit on the number of tickets they sold). We went with Mary and Stan and Jackie (designated driver) and Scott, and look forward to going again next year.

So I guess our weather HAS been kind of severe this year
It's sure felt that way, with thunderstorms and tornado warnings here in the Denver area on a regular basis. Apparently that's not just a misperception on my part.
Colorado Can’t Catch a Break This Year. What Gives?
Colorado just can’t catch a break. When it’s not burning or flooding, it’s catching hell from the sky, with hailstones the size of baseballs and a constant conga line of tornadoes raking the eastern half of the state. How common is extreme weather in Colorado, and is this the new normal?
And, on cue, we’re just down…

Slowing ahead
We were driving up into downtown Denver early last evening, and for some hours we kept seeing massive red patch on Google Maps and a "1 hour 15 minutes" timeline to get to our destination. Now I see why.
That particular stretch involves curves and the beginning of high walls on either side of the freeway. It's wide, but people still whip through there awfully fast, even when there's sketchy weather and road conditions. The assumption being that, well, heck, what could go wrong?
We ended up going up Santa Fe instead.
