Storm a-Brewin

Clouds encroach over the plains in this picture taken from an airplane just east of Denver on the afternoon of April 8, 2013. The storm system moved across the state, bringing spring snows and sending temperatures plummeting. In two hours Monday evening, the temperature in Denver dropped from a spring-like 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) down to 42 degrees F (5.5 degrees C). By 5:20 a.m. on Tuesday, Denver was shivering in mere 16 degree F (-8.8 degree C) temperatures.
