and it's only September 9th!

Monday it was 90, Tuesday 75 and last night it snowed and was down to 30. Raining now and only about 45. I turned on the pellet stove this morning....earliest I ever remember!

Wonder what it's going to be like in a month in Wyoming when I'll be deer hunting?

118! Wow, I'd rather have 60 below!

Talking to my barber today and she said that her boyfriend was stuck up in the hills above Silt at his cow camp with 9 inches of snow.

The Flattops north of Glenwood Springs and the Grizzly Creek fire got a good coating of snow also.

I also just took the plastic covering off of what was left of my veggie garden. It looks like it made it through the last two days alright.

I love seeing cold weather this early

Got some snow here in Woodland Park … only 19 degrees last night.

How's that snow working on damping down the Colorado fires?

How's that snow working on damping down the Colorado fires?

It's doing a good job with the Grizzly Creek one. I read a report yesterday that they pulled just about all of the firefighters off of the line because it was too wet and were going to wait until it dried out before sending them back in.

I drove through Glenwood Canyon yesterday and there usually are some hot spots with smoke curling up into the sky, yesterday there was nothing. But with the snow on the ground it really showed just what was and what wasn't burnt in the Canyon and along the ridges.

I'm sure that the other fires experienced the same thing. It was some welcomed moisture.
