Sunny and 50 again tomorrow . I will be grilling some chicken thighs I deboned , not over a 20 percent chance rain for a week , so maybe everything will dry out .
 
Seemed like 70 degrees today under bright sun - with 70 mph winds for several hours . . .
previous springs there would be massive water rushing down creeks,
but won't happen this year as much - snow at higher elevations still packed, but alot at a mile high is already melted and was sent downstream for ya'all.

Winter storm Quinn . . . A 146 mph wind gust was recorded at the top of Squaw Valley, according to AP, about the time of a skiiers disappearance., and the storm dumped another three feet of snow. His body was found by ski patrol this past weekend.

Some day I'll utilize linux to make short tube or gif (much easier) of about 8 seconds of a busy intersection near Coors Field this morning -
heavy stuff bending in wind. Big windmills/wind turbines are pumping toady - more clean electricity for all.

Gusts are enormous over a base of constitent 30 - 50 mph winds. This isn't "tornado-y" - it is constant wind with sunny blue skies . . .
Then, wind gust blasts !

Today , I sawed up a giant Ash log in the woods. I dropped what remained standing of it last fall . The top had snapped out the year before , I will split the rest for next winter firewood .
 
Rainy last night , cold today. I got the oil changed Thurs in the F150 and the Japanese Zero .
 
Sixty and sunny yesterday ( last day of the month to get that warm according to forecast) , snowing to beat hell today , ice last night .

ugh...expecting around 15" before it all ends. next year we're gonna have to just eat the damn groundhog, shadow or not.
 
Pretty mild winter especially at 5300' elevation - plenty of snow pack at 9000' though,
so some Colorado kayaking fun down to all those lowlanders needing water.
 
Probably about eight inches yesterday of an unusually heavy , wet snow . Snapped off a couple trees and so heavy on some fence it pulled over metal T posts . Should all be melted by tomorrow afternoon . Twenty in the morning though .

I sawed up one of muh trees in the woods that snapped off from the heavy snow . Maybe I will work on the other one on Mon . They will both be firewood next winter.
 
Another blizzard today . This time though , so far , I still have electric so I have not had to fire up the generator.
