Denver has an interesting climate. Snow tends to fall most often in the spring. This year it snowed on the first of May (and the second had more flurries.) This snow does not tend to stay around long and in this case the asphalt drive did not even require any shoveling, it melted on the dark surface as it fell. The same week, on one of the coldest days ever recorded in May, the morning low temperature was 19 degrees. The house holds heat so well that it was not that cold and I got by fine with a small oil heater in the bedroom. Of course that makes me wonder why I have spent almost $10,000 putting in a radiant heating system that will keep the house warm as a toaster at zero degrees. Not that it doesn’t get below zero in Denver.
