"September Snow" - A Windy Snowstorm At Cottonwood Pass, Colorado
September 16, 2006
 |
I originally planned to photograph
some of the fall foliage happening along Cottonwood Pass Road,
but there was a really windy snowstorm happening on and off all morning. I did get this adjacent photo,
which would have looked much nicer if the sky was clear and the morning sunshine was free to cast its rays. |
 |
I stopped near the spot where I take my usual photo for my
"Colorado Seasons" web site,
and wandered around the roadside. |
 |
At the last and final switchback on the Chaffee County
(east) side, things got fairly icy and slushy. |
 |
And to think just two weeks ago I took my visiting
friends up there during a beautiful summer-like day with clear blue skies! :p) |
 |
The views west of the divide. |

Myself. I'd say it could not have been over 20 degrees up there and with the wind
and snow, it made for some amusement over the weather. But geez, I still wish it was summer! :p) |

Tire tracks in the snow. |
