I was amazed that I had no flight delays on return. We have a lot of snow at 6,600 feet right now.

Did you shovel in your usual uniform of shorts, sandals, and an aloha shirt (with vest, if it was cold enough)?
Take care, amigo, and pace yourself.
TR
... what do you think!!?! Shorts - of course! But didn't have enough traction with my "slippers" - maybe that is why they are called 
So had to revert to shoes ...
Finally stopped, total 30" in my back yard
Plow just went through, so the fun REALLY begins getting from the driveway to the plowed LANE

I think it's there. A fella was in today who said roads to the Denver Airport (Stapleton?) were closed last night. They closed I-80 according to the news. Not a lot of snow here but it was very windy.

Fire instead of Ice
Colorado may not have the extremes of such places like Iceland but we do have our seasons of ice and more importantly, fire.
These are a fraction of the pictures I took of the High Park Fire from east side of Horsetooth Res. on the afternoon/evening of June 10th. Last report was this blaze near 40K acres. All this from a lightning strike on Saturday morning.

Amazing...great pictures! Too bad for the folks who have homes and critters in there. This won't end for some time given the amount of beetle kill throughout the State.

.... and also how dry of a winter we've had.
Fire season has started early this year.
This pic was from my house of the Lower North Fork fire on March 26.
Tomahawk .... great pics.

My son lives there, also. He says he can see flames now. Mostly smoke earlier.

I just talked to my sister who lives in Erie but works in Longmont. She said the air quality today is horrendous. The past couple of days there has been wind to keep the smoke from settling (but feeding the fire).
Prayers out to everyone effected by this.
