This weekend’s late season snow storm brought plenty of moisture, but area trees paid the price

As a Denver native I’m rarely surprised by Colorado’s fickle weather patters. Take this weekend’s storm for example. On Thursday we were basking in mid-60 degree weather and by Sunday morning the city was buried under almost a foot of wet, heavy snow.
While the snow was beautiful, it pummeled the newly budding trees around town. I tried my best to save some of my smaller trees by knocking the snow off with my handy broom. While I was able to save most of my trees, I learned that my broom skills could use some work. Let’s just say that I was covered in snow more times than I would like to admit.
With a number of branches down around the city up to 270,000 Xcel Energy customers were affected by outages throughout the weekend.
While I don’t love our late season snow storms, I do appreciate how quickly the snow melts away to reveal green grass and hydrated flowers.
