I will always find hard to appreciate winter as long as I need big oil to heat my home

Hoping the snow holds off until AFTER I drive thru Zion and from Cedar City to Ft. Collins next month. The fireweed has nearly topped out and the fair is starting today.

It's gonna rain thru the holiday, then could turn colder. Need to finish the fence... Damn auger & wood chipper can't be picked up until Labor Day weekend though...

I won't argue with that.

I thought it always snowed in Alaska.

^ Oh, I can drive to a few spots that still have a nice layer of snow available. Some mountains have it year round; as do the glaciers & Fjords.

The lower elevations won't get it until Construction Season is over...

Cooled down a lot last night. Was in the mid 60's when I left for work this morning - the type of weather I love on my drive to work.

Saturday night we rode bikes to Mexican restaurant to drink.. glad I took a hoodie cause when it is windy here, its F'n chilly...

drinking a pitcher of margaritas then biking about 1.5 mile back to the house in the dark was pretty fun...(on trails not the road)

 

[knight1fox3]

Chilly in CO in August?

 

[Road Guy]

it snowed in one of the mtns over the weekend.. but its usually not cold here, but when the wind blows here (from where I don't know) it gets F'n cold...

2 degree and no wind is warm where 30 degrees +wind = forgetaboutit.............................

This summer has been a full 10 degrees cooler than years past. Many of the guys on the 14ers website were saying snow/ice on several different peaks this last weekend.

 

[blybrook PE]

Geeze. And i'm gonna be driving from Vegas to Denver in 3 weeks. This will be interesting.

NO SNOW YET!! It can dump after I make the drive
