A Full Snow Weekend - Photos of Snow From Central Colorado (February 19-21, 2010)

A Full Snowy Weekend! (Snow Photos From Three Days of Colorado Snowfall - February 19-21, 2010)

	Friday Afternoon I was in Leadville, Colorado on Friday afternoon and needed to return to my home in Buena Vista. The snow began to fall by mid-afternoon in this small mountain town that sits at over 10,000 feet in elevation. Adjacent are three photos I snapped from the car while driving on Highway 24. I tweeted the second and third photo and it was noticed by a TV news station in Denver. They asked if they could use one of the photos for the weather section of their program, but I don't think they ended up using it. TOP: Driving south of Leadville and approaching the Hayden Meadows area of Lake County. SECOND: Making a turn. THIRD: Approaching the Highway 82 turnoff. A right (west) would lead to Twin Lakes, Independence Pass and eventually Aspen.
	On Saturday morning, plenty of new snow blanketed the land. I walked outside and snapped this photo which is the same general view that my web cam shows. That's right, ha ha - You can see what this view looks like it real time here: Colorado Web Cam.
	Three snowy photos from my friend's backyard.
	I went for a drive on Saturday just to explore and see what snow scenes I might want to photograph. This is the view as I drove north on Highway 24 as I was leaving Buena Vista. I like the whiteness of the road - the snow was covering it quite evenly.
	Large amounts of the snow in the center of East Main Street.
	Traveling on West Main Street.
	I traveled west on Chaffee County Road 306, sometimes known as "Cottonwood Pass Road. TOP: It would have been a much pretty view of the mountains if the skies were clear. The mountain on the left is Bald Mountain. SECOND: This is a great road for bicycling, when it isn't covered in snow of course! :)
	On Saturday afternoon, I went snowshoeing with friends. I'm the guy on the left. :) You can see all of my photos from that excursion here: Colorado Snowshoeing.

A Herd Of Elk - Buena Vista, Colorado
Elk
As I wandered by car, I noticed the area's large herd of elk relaxing in an open field near a line of pinions. I zoomed-in as best as I could! To see my very best elk photos, please check them out here: Elk Herd Photos.
