So is there a joke there somewhere ? Seems to be just facts in it !! lol
ACTUALLY HERE THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE HAVE HAD NO WINTER TO SPEAK OF. IT GET COLD BUT VERY LITTLE SNOW. SOOO OURS HAS BEEN A LOT OF SUN. IT CAN STILL TAKE YOUR GARDEN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. COLD AND SUNNY HERE RIGHT NOW. MAYBE AND INCH OF SNOW. USUALLY THERE IS 6 TO 24 INCHES. OH, WELL. IT MAY COME YET. THEN WE COUD HAVE 4 TO 5 FEET IN ONE NICHT. BUT THAT WAS LAST IN 1992. TIME FOR IT AGAIN I WOULD SAY. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL AND HOPE YOU HAD GOOD ONES. PETER, HAVE YOU GOTTEN STUCK IN THAT MESS IN DENVER YET?? SUPPOSEDLY 2000 PEOPLE STUCK, BEN DIDNT SAY BUT I SUSPECT IT WAS AT THE AIRPORT. GOOD THING YOU HAVE YOUR COMP. TO KEEP BUSY. HAPPY TRAILS. ILLA
Pretty wild weather around here this time of year. -40 wind chill in lots of places. Not something you'd want to be out in. Those poor folks who were stuck, were stopped by 'white out' conditions and snow covering the road; which was one of the roads coming here (the road to Vail), made the freeway a parking lot. We're able to take another road to Denver if that one gets bad again. Kids were playing outside the other day for a couple of hours, about 20degrees with wind about 30mph! But that's what they do around here. I know BnI and family would love it, being skiers and all. For me, I'll take a minimum 70 degree. Peter
PETER, I GREW UP 110 MILES WEST OF DENVER IN A TOWN CALLED RIFLE. I LOVED IT THERE AND SKIED IN ASPEN AND GLENWOOD SPRINGS BEFORE IT WAS POPULAR. ILLA
Then you know the area! Peter Jr. works in Breckenridge, but his home is Fairplay, South about 40 minutes. As you know, this is really beautiful country, but it is harsh. Everything is hard to do. So I guess Bieber is like the tropics to you! I told you we babysat while the kids partied. Where they were it was -34 without wind chill. Karissa said it hurt to breath that cold of air.
We'll be leaving tomorrow to Denver, spend the night at a hotel then fly Thursday. Peter
