Beautiful Durango here. Beginning of the week the prediction was 3 snow storms. Two down and two to go. Huh? We’ve had two – Monday night and Tuesday Night (each of which lasted well into the next day). But now they are revising the prediction and saying one for tonight (Wednesday) and then another big one Thursday/Friday.
The two we’ve had so far are well over 10 inches. But, it’s been cold enough that it’s been nothing but beautiful and not a problem to move around. Of course up here in the Rockies they actually know how to take care of snowy roads and how to drive, so not really a concern.
The only ones that apparently don’t understand is Hertz since they did not include a snow brush in the car. Must be like cutting out taking cash on airplanes for cocktails. We just can’t afford those expenseive brushes anymore. I do feel a letter to Hertz coming.
But, I digress. The folks here have a really good idea when it’s going to snow. All you have to do is look west to Los Angeles. When they get rain there…in 1-2 days it will be snowing here. Have you noticed how much rain LA’s been getting lately? While they’re dealing with floods and mudslides, the jet stream ensures that Durango and SW Colorado ski slopes are getting great fresh new powder. SoCal’s loss is SWCO’s gain.
Two other axioms: 1) the snow keeps the temperature up, so not frigidly cold, and 2) the wind hasn’t been blowing so that makes it not as cold either.
Supposed to go home Friday, but don’t know what weather will allow. Here’s hoping for smooth sailing or clear skies.
P.S: Not my pictures since I forgot my camera. Had to borrow the pix. Otherwise, we’d have icicles hanging from the roof and snow piled high on my car. But, would have been difficult to take a picture of me brushing snow at 7 a.m.
P.S.S: And if you didn't see James Taylor and Carol King on Letterman tonight, Youtube it!
