Rest of Today
Partly cloudy. Blowing snow in the late morning and afternoon. Windy. Highs 5 to 10. West winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph. Wind chill readings 35 below to 45 below zero.
The Legal Dude and I watched a bit of The Weather Channel this morning.
We see that blizzards and hazardous weather are happening all around the country.
We heard though, that while it may be cold out there (Chicago with a -15 wind chill...please stay warm...or stay inside!), Wyoming has the coldest temp around the country....with -45 degree wind chill.
Frankly, I'd rather be here than in Iowa (wow...see that snow!!! ), Chicago, Boston or anyplace else that has inclement weather, because after all...I don't have far to travel to get to where I'm going.
Kinda nice that way.
It is, at least, until we have to travel to the Denver airport, which is 2 hours away.
On days like today, with the wind blowing across the high altitude plains or in the mountains...remember, we're at an elevation of over 7,000 Feet....visibility may be nil and then they pull these closed...

and then no one gets out of town...or in.
Remember the post about the food trucks not being able to get in to town?
Before he left for school, the teenager said..."It looks like a sand storm out there!"
He's right...it does.
Wish that I could capture it on my little Nikon...
Anyhoo.
Stay safe...stay warm...and be cozy.
It sounds like The Shining or something like that.
