The Calm Before the Storm

Sunrise

“They” are predicting significant snowfall today, and a high tomorrow of 1F. I am hoping that “they” are wrong. Since we are tucked up against the Palmer Divide, which is a snowfall magnet during big storms, we usually get close to the maximum amounts forecast for the area. I will never forget talking to Jack (who was in Texas at the time of the October 97 blizzard) about my worries of getting lost on my way to the horse field. He suggested I follow the extension cord that then led from the house to the stock tank. I looked out at four feet of snow, with near whiteout conditions, and thought “The man has no idea.” Fortunately, we now have fencing that contains the complete path between the house and the barn, so getting misdirected during a whiteout is no longer a risk.

  1. I heard today there were hurricane force winds in part of Colorado! Stay safe, Elaine! You sunset photo is very pretty 🙂
