The Snow Above The Mountains
Personal memory by Jordan Urdiales
2021 CE • Denver, CO, USA
I was born in Denver, Colorado in 2000. I recall my childhood winters, in which the snow was plentiful and the blizzards common. There was several feet of snow in the city consistently. Around 2018, I began to notice that the snow was less frequent and not as intense. At the time of this message, it is currently December 9, 2021. It has snowed once this Winter.
