2Winters: Colorado Snow
It’s boiling hot in Joburg this week. But I’m in a winter wonderland in Colorado.
My best friend Claire lives in Colorado Springs and I’m visiting her, between visits to Washington D.C., Baltimore, Taos, Santa Fe, and Middlebury. It’s a long trip, happening right as autumn changes to winter, which means this year I’m kind of having 2Winters instead of 2Summers.
It snowed a few inches this morning – my first snowfall in nearly a decade – and it was the prettiest, fluffiest snow I’ve ever seen.
Colorado Snow
I went outside and discovered a soft, silent, snow-white utopia. Falling snow somehow makes sub-freezing temperatures feel less cold – I crunched around comfortably despite the 17° Fahrenheit (-8 Celsius) air. I had the best time taking photos.
My mom and I took a walk into town. The snow piled up on the colorful little Craftsman-style houses in the most delightful way.
I’m not usually crazy about winter weather but this beats the Joburg heat wave. I’m returning to summer next week.

So pretty! I miss the fall leaves the most, but right after that is snow!
I didn’t realize I missed it until I saw it again. Of course today I’d like it to go away though ????
Just love, love, love these pics of the snow. And the work save travel cushions on the most adorable front porch. Enjoy every moment of this winter wonderland xx
Thanks :)
Stunning pics as always. I too want one of those houses, they are beautiful.
It’s so much fun seeing you enjoy the Colorado snow. I love the craftsman style houses, too. The comparison to Joburg right now to that winter wonderland would be hard for many to imagine! The photos are beautiful! Enjoy!
Thanks!
As the temps here rise and rise, I understand your delight albeit shortlived. Think I’d be the same. Would love to experience a Canadian winter - just once! Oh, and please send tiny house over asap ????
Yeah it was great for one day. Today I’m a bit weary of it as I’m traveling ???? Still fun!
Hey - I was in Colorado Springs a couple of weeks ago. Sorry to have missed you. We were up in Hayden mostly, freezing our butts off in a BIG canvas tent - no stove, just an outside fire when we eventually got it lit …..
That sounds like quite an adventure!
It’s gorgeous!! Definitely a lovely break from a hot location.
It was so fun :)
hello Heather, thank you very much for sharing these beautiful photos, bringing back special memories. Best wishes for the rest of your visit. A
Thanks Anneliese! I’m back in SA now - more posts to come soon!
Wonderful!
wow, so pretty :-)
Thanks ????
I'll be offline from 15-19 May. Post on that will follow. I'll approve your comment when I'm back.
