And it's only the middle of August!  :o

I heard that too. It is much too early for snow. I don't think I would like that much.

Here is a picture of the closest "fourteener" to me, Mt. Evans, taken this morning on my ride to work!


Beautiful pic...reminds me of my drive-to-work scenery too..except without all the Denver smog! ;D

I hear there were tornadoes in Denver yesterday!  :o

Everybody OK out there?  ???

(All that Democratic hot air in town this week, I'd expect more bad weather if I lived there. ...)

Apparently this news was all over the East Coast but I didn't know anything about it. If there were tornadoes, it was just our unique way of welcoming the Democrats LOL! In my aerie on the Front Range, the skies grew threatening around noon but cleared up again, then clouded over in the late afternoon for our customary spatter of raindrops to make everything sparkle as the sun was going down. We welcomed a visitor from Ireland and his plane touched down at DIA right on time, so no tornadoes at the airport either!

There was film on the Today show this morning of a twister narrowly missing somebody's house.

Now that you mention it, my son said he saw a funnel cloud way to the SE on the plains. The only reason it got covered, I'm sure, was because of all the press in  town for the DNC.

Heard a rumour that there was snow in the Big Horns in recent days...a report of 10 inches over on the Montana/Idaho border. Here on the Front Range, there's just mist and rain so far. I spied a couple of lovely sights on my way home last night:

I heard about one foot of snow had fallen too!

And more is to come... soon or now.

Love your pic of that animal, Front-Ranger!
And the other too!

More pics?


Au revoir,
hugs!  I miss my penpal who lived in the Grands Tetons! He would have told us about that snow, since he was a ranger or so, (guide) there, but this gay man was murdered and I doubt if the murderer was found! He was kind soul, and even moose came to eat among his horses, which photos I had of that he had posted to me!

Apparently my cousin lives in Montannta and they got a ton of snow he said.
Snow, lord I wish we would get some. Hell, we ain't had any rain in almost 28days.
Course it is still in the 80's! LOL We are supposed to cool down abit by the weekend.
One day I want to sit in my living room by a nice fire in a big stone fireplace and lookout the wall of windows to my right and see snow covered mountains! Ahhhh what a dream.............
