Spring is bipolar in Colorado

This is my first spring in Colorado.  I am enjoying the spring flowers.

They are lining up quite nicely.

Aren't they beautiful!

However,  Tomorrow through Sunday we are expected to get a foot of snow.  Not the light powder but the heavy soggy kind.

I am afraid that we are going to loose all these and the spring flowers that are just about to bloom. 

I would have to say that Colorado needs to be medicated for Bipolar disorder.  Its become so drastic in its weather (mood swings) that I really think we have a problem. 

Is it always this way?
