She can have both. After growing up in Florida, I like the altitude and humidity right here!

Snowing pretty steadily here...picked up three or four more inches here last night...last Wednesday, we only got a skiff, but it still took three hours to drive 75 miles from Fort Collins to Aurora... Too many damned flatlanders think that 4 wheel drive means you can drive the speed limit with an inch of snow on the road...

I left extra-early for work today. I don't have the 'work at home" option like I did at my old job.
I saw about 14 cars off the road this AM, but none looked to part of any accident. I suspect maybe their windshield wipers were frozen and they were attending to them.
BTW, Sunday, I got a newspaper stuck in my snowblower - that was why I was a little cranky.

Had to drive down to Denver from the Fort yesterday. I still shake my head when I see vehicles off the sides of the road, be they in the median cables or on the shoulder, that are facing the wrong direction or sometimes upside down.

County hasn't even plowed the roads yet. At least it seems to be slacking off. Looks like about 20" since yesterday morning.

Is this why 10th couldn't get their SOF Sniper Competition team to Bragg? Those guys missed out on a chance at some serious LOOT!

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Crazy like a Fox!
Sun is coming out, just shoveled the walk, going for a run later. Should be sunny and 30 degress tomorrow. Perfect day for a hike.

Used to live in Chicago myself, grew up there, and I know of this "HAWK" that you speak of. The big difference(s) between a Chicago winter and a Colorado winter.....Humidity.
Back in Chicago, when that cold air mixed with that humidity, it would indeed cut through you like a knife. Out here, there's no humidity to deal with.
Plus, back in Chicago, winter starts with the 1st snow fall, (usually mid November) and lasts until sometime in the Spring (Mid April). Out here, we know this snow we see today, will be gone by this weekend. Supposed to be in the 50's Fri, Sat, Sun.

I love the snow but i have to wonder what is going on with these temps? I dont remember it being this cold in Colorado it feels like back home in New England. Even worse it feels like Chicago or Korea. Luckily i get to defrost in LA tomorrow and have a mini SF reunion in DC this weekend maybe then it will be back to normal in Denver.

Yeah, it started today. Can't you keep your storms to yourself? Then Thursday we're in for a deep freeze...so whatever snow we get (8-10", depending on who you listen to) will be around for a while.
