NOOOOOOO.. I am not ready for snow. Screw it, I am buying a ticket to Bali!
I hope it snows like MAD, or at least gets really cold...but that's just me. I'll be sick of it in a month.

You need an intervention...
ETA: It's sunny, windy and about 52 in Bailey right now. I'm about to head to town and won't be back for a bit. I expect the conditions to be much different when I get back if the forecast is correct.
Front coming through Aurora now...wind just picked up to ~35 mph and the temp has dropped 20 degrees in about 10 minutes.

What holster and gun for sudden drop in temp [LOL].. Hope those frog lube users are inside. [Beer]
Still warm in Lakewood, I just took a walk outside with no jacket and I was very warm by the time I finished my little mile course I have mapped out around my office buildings.

57 mph winds and I am flapping shingles.
Hold the alt key and type 0176. It gives you the degree symbol. I'd do it, but I'm on an I pad.

11-10-2014, 16:48
Yep, now it's 21° and 60+mph gusting winds. yuck.
Got up early this morning and worked for a little bit in the backyard in shorts. Dug in the rest of the garlic. Put some straw and plastic down on the garden, tried to find some tree wrap, but didn't have any luck.
It was nice. Then the wind came. Then more wind. Then it got cold. Darn cold. Went to Lowes/HD just before lunch to try to find tree wrap (both were sold out) and it started snowing, and here I am still in shorts. Holy cow I'm cold now. And stupid. :)
I hope I have some soup I can warm up for dinner.
Just got back from walking/jogging/running, what a beautiful day. :)

I started out warm just as the rest of you. Then things went to south very quickly. Cold weather equals misery at a concrete plant. Tomorrow should be a real party.

I had to drive across town at 7 and people were going 15 mph for no apparent reason in parts of Colorado Springs. The roads were visibly dry and I had places to be. I was pissed.
These are the idiots that need red left turn arrows. [facepalm]
Traffic was fun tonight. I also found this weather to be just perfect for replacing the battery in the Tahoe.

Need to check the water we have, make sure they're not a skating rink for the dogs.

Freezing my ass off at work tonight. Cant wait till tomorrow night supposed to be colder.
When I got to my claim this morning the temp on my car said 64 degrees. Got back in my car an hour later and it said 37 degrees. In the meantime, I was either on a ladder or hanging onto the ridge of 10/12 pitch roof. Today was NOT the day to shave my beard. Then it snowed when I got home. Glad I made my "commute" at 10:30 am.

Streets and sidewalks are dry over here.
A little crisp outside.

15° here this morning. My new snow tires are out for delivery. Wonder if the boys down the street are going to want to mount them. [LOL] Still have the old ones on so I will be ok. looking a little chilly out there. 52163
Kind of glad today is a holiday and I don't have to work. [Coffee]

Not so bad out here this morning with no wind. Miserable last nite with wind. County roads were covered with black ice and treacherous, extra 45 mins to get home. Roads better this morning. Just a dusting of snow.

Everyone else driving doesn't know that. They'll ride their brakes through the driest roads, then spin out right in front of you.
I'm moderately disappointed in this. I should have ridden my motorcycle to work today, but figured it'd be slick in spots. There's the usual weather induced idiocy, but the roads were fine. If it's gonna be cold, I want snow measured in feet.

Yep. I saw this last night... I was about to go offroading to get around these fools, but then I would look like the dangerous one... :-P
We have about a half inch of snow this morning. And our front yard is full of tumbleweeds.

The roads were VERY slick this morning in northwest Loveland. I saw 2 accidents within 4 blocks of home.
I don't think CDOT got the memo about the weather... What a joke

Its still cold out. On my way home, looking forward to a short eggnog after dinner.
Glad I don't have to be across town until noon tomorrow. Nothing is worse than driving across town in traffic AND bad weather.

Y'all can thank Tropical storm Nuri, apparently:

It was pushed up thru Alaska, and came back south all frozen... kinda had a warning this would be coming, but they didn't know for sure.
Guess what does not like to start when it is freezing balls out... Diesel trucks... Guess what I fix all day hmmmm miserable day

My neighbor has his brand new, gas truck plugged in right now.

Does that mean it is a hybrid?
Nah, he's prepared for stuff like this, but I doubt he'll have a problem getting it started in the morning.

I saw the sun peeking through in the couple hours I was at work and decided I'd knock some of the snow away in hope of getting the sun to the roads.

Then I figured the neighbor's driveway needed some artwork.

Outside, short sleeves dusted off the truck, smoking hot 14` here. Whoop.

I just took this video of a coworker toosing a cup of hot water outside. It was -13 here when I got here at 2000. It's colder now, but I don't know what the temp is exactly.

It's a balmy ONE DEGREE outside, not factoring in wind chill.
I'll take the dogs looks, who felt it necessary to inform me she NEEDED to go out Now, it's colder than that. She must have started peeing after she hit the ground, ran down the path then back up the steps. Looking at me wondering whose idea it was to get up.
