It is fake to suggest that mid-October snow is news in the rockies.
It didn’t even stick to the streets here in the Denver metro area. The forecast for the next 10 days is high 50s to low 60s and sunny. Perfect Fall weather.
Which is, among other reasons, why I am spending most of January in Vietnam and Thailand this coming year. :-)
Frozen snowflake tears.
Snow might not be welcome in flat places, but the Rocky Mountain states are happy to see every flake of snow. Here’s to hundreds of feet of white stuff.
Ain’t any fun trying to get up and down grades if there’s no salt for the roads, though. The Poconos are also mountainous and quite dependent on ski tourism, but one has to be able to get places for the commerce to function.
Al Gore, Please pick up the global warming telephone in Sheridan, WY, if your CO2 belching SUV can get thru the snow drifts.
A bear in Colorado came running out of the woods yelling “Global Warming. Global Warming” and was promptly shot by a very snow-laden hunter. More at 11!
#13. If you say the word “Snow” to a rapper, it ain’t referring to the wet kind.
Did the bear have odd hominid and porcine features, by any chance?
Well, one may regard Darrin Kenneth O’Brien as all wet, depending on one’s opinion of him.
I hear you. There was one time in 2006 when I escaped the mid-October snow of Denver to visit Athens, Ga. short sleeve weather instead of Denver snow. Athens was just back East. Vietnam and Thailand. Wow, That is Far East. Good Lock with that.
Yeah, we’re not in full winter pattern yet. Snow on the ground today. However, I expect I’ll be riding my motorcycle to work later this week.
Really? You must be down south. Up here in Portland it is fine...
Hurricanes in the south, blizzards in Colorado and Wyoming. It’s “global warming” I tell ya! It has to be. ROTFL.
#30. No, Ted Kennedy is dead. Now, if you are talking about Michael Moore, that’s a definite “maybe”. I don’t think Moore qualifies as Hominid. More like Bovine.
Aw, hell, it got up to 90° this afternoon. Hoping for some cooling in the evening soon. Usually happens second half of October. Our Fall is not synced to the mainland it seems.
Makes for much better sleep when the temps drop into the 70’s at night..
That is not heavy snow the 36 inches we received Oct 31st 1991 was or would be a heavy snow.
Close to record or record early snow already in Des Moines and Iowa, along with near record cold.
