On social media and local news media, when it snows you can be guaranteed to see multiple pictures of Colorado residents’ snow-covered patio furniture. In a broadcast rant Thursday, local news anchor Kyle Clark slams these boring photos and asks people to do better.

The tongue-in-cheek editorial would be less funny were it not entirely accurate and true. As Clark points out, we live in one of the most beautiful states in the union and yet when it snows, people take pictures of outdoor furniture.
“Why is it that every time it snows we whip out photos of our patio furniture sets like we’re showing off baby photos of our kids? Is that the best we can do?” Clark asks rhetorically.
With soaring voice, inspiring music, and photos showcasing the Centennial Sate in winter, Clark tells Coloradans they can do much better.
“Are we really a state that takes the easy way out? We blasted a road through the Rockies, we put a cliff inside a Mexican restaurant, our welcome sign is a demon horse with crazy laser eyes. We don’t do easy around here.”
“C’mon Colorado,” Clark concludes. “We love winter. We own winter.”
It is hard to argue with Clark although thus far this snow season, there hasn’t been much of the white stuff to take photos of.
Denver’s official seasonal snowfall total is only at 3.4 inches. While November is historically our second snowiest month with an average of 8.7 snowfall, a paltry 2.0 inches has been recorded thus far.
