Brokeback Weather Alert - Snowfall Coming to Higher Mountains

[Front-Ranger]

I'm so glad you made it out to Florida safely, the airport's closed here today Laura! Thanks for the report; be sure to check in here during the holidays, okay? I wonder if brokebackjack made it out okay; he was supposed to fly to New York City to prepare for his weddin. I hope he's not hunkered down at DIA along with the several thousand that are supposed to be there waiting for the airport to reopen!! If you are, jack, check in with us at one of those Internet stations!!

Just a couple of pics for you Colorado expatriots and anyone else with a dirth of snow to look at.

Here is a photo looking outside my house with the vegetable garden on the left. No tomatoes today!!

Here you can just see the top of the doghouse:



Okay, enough pics of snow...let's go have some hot chocolate, sit by the fire, and read about the solstice!!

From the Yahoo! news report on the Denver storm:

In Wyoming, a woman died while walking for help after her car became stuck in the snow, officials said.

  Annie Proulx's plots are disturbingly realistic. I hope she wasn't hallucinating about skinless cows while it was going on.

More snowblowing!



I feel it is my duty to share all these snowy pics with you since some of you haven't gotten your share of snow this season!

And the ski areas sure wouldn't mind having people think snow = Colorado!

(They're probably bumming that the Denver airport has been closed. All those people looking at the news, wanting a chance to ski, and the nearest airport - or the airport that the shuttle flights come out of - is closed. I mean, there are at least some resorts that don't cater to the private jet crowd, aren't there?)

I guess the Denver airport is starting to clear out now, but some people won't make it to their destination until Christmas Day or even later. Brokebackjack was able to leave today for his weddin trip to New York City  (Thats for you, your bride, and Nic, jack!)

But fallout from the Denver blizzard continues. I went to the grocery store to get the fixin's for Christmas dinner, and it was scary, with empty produce aisles. I grabbed the very last of the zucchini and celery. No potatoes anywhere, just yams. Even frozen food was almost all gone.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to your computer...


Another blizzard predicted for Denver on December 28!!

Katherine's on her way driving here and I hope she makes it...she'll have a headwind...redline it katherine!!

And EDelMar predicted this one too...two days ago!!
