Snow

As all of you know by now, Colorado got hit with a decent winter storm the last couple of days. The funny thing is that the front range (Denver, Fort Collins, Boulder, Colorado Spring, etc) got hit worse the the Western Slope. This is odd because it is usually us over here that get all the snow and cold weather. Here in Gunnison, we only got about 4 to 6 inches of snow. Not bad for us. It will finally turn into winter here, though. We have had about the warmest (so nice) December that any of us can remember. Those days are probably over and the bitter cold is about to start for a couple of months. The way it usually works is once we have a decent amount of snow cover on the ground, the bottom falls out of our temperature. My guess for the low tonight will be between -10 and -20. Yes, 20 below zero. That won't be too bad if it only goes that low. Last year we had over 30 days where it was -25 to -40 at night. That sucked, even I hated last winter and I love the cold. It definitely now looks like we will have a white Christmas, but I am still holding out hope and praying for a brown one. This warmer weather has spoiled all of us. I am liking highs in the mid to upper 30's. Today is only suppose to get to 29 or 30, which isn't bad. It is actually nice and sunny here right now. Yesterday I removed snow from 4:45 till around 9. Oh what fun, but at least it is gone and off of my lot. I really hate snow. I do know that I am going to retire in a place where they don't know what snow is.
