Dang Ed, When are you going to get some snow??? About 2x that much here 100 miles to the west of you...but of course that is at 8000 ft.

Had enough of it this year already. Can't wait for it to be gone!!!
 
Heck we have already started planting gardens---Getting ready to mow for the second time.
The older I get the less I like the cold----makes to ole body hurt.

You can have that stuff! No golf to be played in weather like that :(.

[}:)]I think that we should close all the golf courses and turn them into farmland to help end world hunger[}:)]

Mike,

One of my favorite turners lives in Buena Vista...Robert Grey. He use to own a gallery there named Trembling Aspen.

I know him and his wife very well. She was my History teacher some 30 years ago.

I'm not sure if they are still living here in town, but he closed the gallery down last year.
 
I lived in Boulder back in the 70's. I remember that in the spring, the first few times the temp would get up to 70 degrees, it would always snow within two or three days. The worst late event was a 2 day snow which started on May 8th. All of the trees were in leaf, and the 30 inches of snow took a bunch of them down. It was the second week of May. My Honda Civic was just a lump of snow in the street.

It was snowing here on my way home form work tonight.
