PREAMBLE: Some of you may have read that I wasn't going to do this thread this year. Well, circumstances have changed and it looks as though I am indeed going to be here through the winter/indefinitely/whatever.

So:

Early this morning, I was out near DIA, in a rainstorm. My wife called me at 6 am, and told me that it was snowing at my home. I didn't believe her, but I got excited and was in a frenzy to get home. What I saw:



Yee-haw!

It's melting fast, but I suspect we got at least a couple inches of wet heavy snow here in Centennial beginning at approximately 5:00 a.m.

Yeah, it was like California snow here, squishy and soaking wet. There's like none left up here.

We got 1/2 inch max.

I'm so glad I ran out and covered up the garden last night. Hoping to get a little more life out of the tomatoes before the weather turns for good.

^^It started snowing here in Louisville about 11 AM, a snow/rain combination. We picked the tomatoes about two weeks ago when there was that frost warning. They're slowly ripening in a paper bag on the kitchen counter.

Sorry to interlope on your fun times thread, but part of my heart sunk a little to see this so early (or what I consider from remote memory of three winters in NH).

As I've been totally fixated on moving to and snowbirding from Denver in the near future, I'm determined to 'monitor' this winter there. I woke this morning to check your temps and was kinda shocked to see white on the map! But I see you guys are going to warm up some.

I was out in my pool in 85 degrees here. I think 'flying south' will have to happen early October for me.

Interloping is what we're here for!

You could have been in a pool today here, so long as it was indoors.

If you completely want to avoid snow, you'd only be able to be here from May-October. It's not that bad, I mean it is already completely melted where I live, and places a few miles north of me didn't see any snow at all as of 7 am. It has been in the 30's most of the day though.

We might not see this stuff again for weeks, and the rain part of this storm was worse than the snow in all honesty.

Oh yes, don't get me wrong. I think I could do winter there much better than I did as a southerner in New Hampshire. The sun is key!

Already heard some of the drivers at the water-plant crying about the specks they saw falling to the ground up near Vail.
Then there was the incessant complaints about having to chain up again.

I reiterated to them that this is easy-money right here!! If you were given a load running through Donner Pass, they would've made you chain that thing up like a tank at the sight of a first drop.

Other than that, I'm going to see how long I could wear shorts whenever I'm in the low-temps before I start feeling light-headed.
Manning it up!!!
