Luckily for us we are supposed to have the lowest of 12 with windchill next week, 19 without.  Hopefully it doesn't get much colder, but I am sure it will.

Ha! Hey James, welcome to Littleton! How was your turkey day here?
Nice weather we are having at the moment though. I was just out yesterday putting up lights and doing a bit of tree work. I wrapped my peach tree graft from this year with tree wrap and I also bundled and wrapped one of my more sesnsitive blueberries in a few layers of burlap.

Steve, I was supposed to leave October 21st. I bought my ticket before I knew about the weather.

Calvin, Thanksgiving was good. The weather has beem great except for the snow last week. It took me 1.5 hours to drive Wadsworth between C470 and 285. I would think the people in Colorado could do better in 2 inches of snow.

They drive me crazy. Half the problem is all the people who moved here from where there is no snow. I am from way north of here, where the snow doesn't melt till spring. So from my perspective, even the majority of the Coloradans aren't so good at driving in it because the roads usually are cleared off and dry within a few days.

I was amazed at how many people were stuck on inclines after stopping at traffic lights because they had bad tires.
