A Snow Day Social Distancing Adventure!
So, I was ready to post a funny story about my love for a sport played outdoors. Then I woke up this morning. I looked out the window and POW! The few inches predicted in Boulder, Colorado turned into 12 and it's supposed to snow all day. I went out in search of a snow... Continue Reading →
Record-Breaking Winter Snowstorm in Colorado – Before and After
I've lived in Colorado long enough to know that weather can be unpredictable. When forecasters warned of a sixty degree drop in temperatures and snow, I battened down the hatches.

April! April! Where for Art Thou?
I used to be addicted. I waited for hours for my next fix. As I checked the time for next update, I would yawn. Finally at 10:20 PM, the weather forecast would begin. Our local forecasters have been waaaay off all winter. Every time they predicted The Big One, the sun would shine. One afternoon... Continue Reading →
