Any relief to the Cameron Peak Fire area?
I'm hoping. Yesterday it jumped the lines and made a beeline towards my cousin's house. It's only 5 miles from it now. :(Quote:

Same. Starting to actually look like snow now.

Starting to stick to the yards and trees here. Still havent had to turn on the heat or.pull the window AC units yet, hopefully won't have too.
About 5" so far. It's been a lot of effort keeping the hummingbird feeders functional: clearing ports, swapping for warm feeders. Also shaking off some of the aspen and fruit trees to avoid losing limbs.
64f inside our house without any heater on so far.
If it goes down to 62f, we will be turning it on.
It is amazing how the house can conserve (or retain) this much heat energy since yesterday.
Had to knock a lil snow off the apple �� tree by the driveway. Not much snow, but enuf to have the lower branches in the way for when the wife goes to work in the AM...
No snow here obviously. But when the front passed last night it went from 86 to 57 in less than an hour. Thunderstorms on and off with the front. This morning it's 48 with rain...got .44" rain since midnight.
It was still 68 in the house but I fired up the furnace just to test it...good to go for when it does get cold. I'll need the AC again after tomorrow.
I hope it rained all over those fires.
18 degrees in Leadville, maybe no colors this year.
