I live 2 hours west of Colorado Springs. Weather Underground is telling me to expect 5-6" of snow, preceded by rain, Friday evening into Saturday morning.
The Front Range is supposed to get even more, so the news folks out of Denver have gone into hysterics. It will be a top-5 latest snowstorm, but I think they will survive.
Myself, I'll take it. It is very dry up here, dangerously so, so I'll take every drop we can get.
Mrs. R has gone to visit her mother, so I'll have to bring her flowers in, and cover some others. The hummingbirds will be unhappy about that.
I was just outside watching a gorgeous sunrise, and can feel it in my bones already- it's coming! My twice-separated shoulder is starting to ache already.
Bring it on!

Hope you got to the store for bread and milk. I assume you guys pretty much laugh at 5-6 inches of the white stuff out there. Up here in Boston it's drizzly and 50F but by Saturday it's supposed to be 95. It's going to be a weird summer.

The Colorado Rockies. I’d you don’t like the weather… wait a few hours.

Hot and muggy hit here. Hopefully we will get some of the cool weather, you can keep the snow.

Woke up to about a foot of heavy, wet snow. More than the forecast called for. Crazy.
Lady J, what did you get?

We've got 16-18" this morning... It's not supposed to stop until around noon, so we may get a little more. The county's graders/plows have already been out this morning to scrape the road and pile it back into the front of my driveway. Gotta love it.

Put on Christmas music, make hot chocolate, and be careful when shoveling.
Here on the right coast it's gonna be up near 100 degrees Frankenstein today.

Clyde is very confused today. We threw few chickens in and he seems a bit happier now.  |
