At least it don't say anything about a big ice storm headin my way. I got to hit the road tomorrow and I can't drive in ice.  That's a  big  weather system. Sure it's Pacific and not Canadian? Yeah, BLAME CANADA for that weather.  ;)

When it hits me and then hits Lee, it's Mexican, not Canadian. Gotta come from the south to give me any snow. (Check out the NOAA satellite loop: http://www.weather.gov/sat_loop.php?image=ir&hours=24  --Look at that stuff getting sucked into the storm from the Gulf of Mexico! Wow. Yeah, that's the pattern that dumps snow on the Front Range (-er ;D ). )

Hope your drive home is safe, Lee! Drop us a line, let us know your there!
Watch out. That poster has a low startle point.

I just made it, thanks for your well wishes!! Just took me 3 1/2 hours. When I got to Morrison

(reference here http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=4928.msg127177#msg127177) my car totally ran out of steam, so I had to have my husband come with his Explorer (did I mention that my husband works at home while I commute 40 miles each way in a flimsy little hybrid car??) He just kept "nudging" me whenever my car rolled to a halt, then I made him tow me the rest of the way, which was uneventful except for two episodes of fishtailing (I apologize for that cheap crack this morning about Beau getting the crap scared out of him!! God is smiting me!!)

All ends well, with a new cord of wood, a full can of gas for the snowblower, and a wee pint of rum for the toddy. I'll post pics of the snowdump!!

Glad you're home safe, Lee!

(To Jeff: Denver is a real pain for driving when it snows a lot. The city is bad, and the mountains are worse.)

I had to pull out the big gun coat tonight-it's flipping cold here. Then I perspective settles in - at 38 degrees, Ennis and Jack were probably in their shirt sleeves.

I'm a wimp.

You ain't no wimp, little darlin'. Blood's just a little thin from all that warm California weather, that's all.  ;D  :-*

Merry Christmas, Honey!
