I can remember several times when the temp has dipped waaaaaay down below zero. Nice big blast of COLD Canadian air. Nothing new. It is warmer on the other side of the divide, over by Grand Juntion, so really, this is nothing new.
BTW....this feels NOTHING like a Chicago winter.

I'll be guessing you don't listen to everything you're told to do. 
We're now getting the frigid temps and wind...brrrr. But we lucked out and missed the 18 inches of snow they got up north, so we have that going for us.

Man, that was a butt kicker!
Spent 4 hours behind Pacman, my trusty winter companion, clearing this dang 800 foot driveway.

Hell, Dolores County used to make a single run down each driveway...I guess the times being what they are, maybe they had to cut that out...

Oh how sweet...how about I share mine with you? It was warm enough to wear shorts today, no shoes. So humid though, we had heavy fog mid-afternoon.
Your cold front is scheduled to hit my warm front somewhere over my head. It shall be tornado and lightening warnings probably all Thursday night.

Yup. Unless you're related to the plow driver.

My mother-in-law lives northeast of Totten Resevoir on county road L (in Mancos, technically)
No plowing up there.
I gave her my old Suburban so she would have a snow vehicle this winter.
She didn't quite make it out on Tuesday. Barely made it out on Wednesday.
Shouldn't have been a problem.
The truck has a positrac rear-end and a spool front-end. True 4WD.
My wife talked to her yesterday.
She forgot to put it in 4WD and lock the hubs.

I'm supposed to drive down from Ft Collins to have a lunch meeting down in Westminster. Not looking like that may happen. The weather doesn't bother me, just the other drivers.

Snow is great, most drivers suck
We have about 6" on top of the 10" that settled from about 16" from our last snow. It is beautiful and quite Christmas like. This is my favorite time of year. Hunting seasons are mostly over and things slow down slightly.
I hear you. I used to live in Durango early in my career when the oldest was a baby. We'd take him to see the grandparents in Montrose/Olathe. Red Mountain/Molas/Coal Bank in conditions like this are interesting drives. The scenary is gorgeous, but the drivers keep you from enjoying it. The drop offs on Red without guard rails makes oncoming traffic hug the mountain in your lane!
I've gone over more than one pass when they closed the gate right behind me. That in not a good feeling. Actually, I really like driving in the snow, especially if I'm alone.

Drove from FoCo to Dacono to pick up a co worker for another day at the office in Denver...just another day in paradise.

I don't know what to say other than I'm jealous.
The weather is beyond bizarre here, it's been fluctuating mostly in the 40s' for months now. We're getting some flurries this evening but it's heavy and wet, and won't stick. No white Christmas here this year.
