Well this latest storm system is coming in 3's. Yesterday it rained hard for a half hour at my place. This morning it was snoe flurries, then rain, then sleet, then sun, then flurries. About 1 inch of snow. The mountains are catching hell. As the old saying goes, and this applies to the storm, I wish it would either **** or get off the #@**^%.

The last three closely-spaced storms netted us more than a foot of new snow. With more coming soon as both rain and snow. Makes a nasty mess, with the warm slushy stuff forming ice under fresh snow acting like lubricant on top of that.

Definitely not “snows one day and gone the next” as so many BS real estate ads like to lie about CO.

I caught just a bit of local news on the Mesa County NBC station, KKCO. Saw the ski base report--and the Wolf Creek ski base is up to 106 inches, IIRC about two weeks ago they were at 60 inches or thereabouts. If only all the bases can get an increase like that. BUT----was watching the Weather Channel this afternoon and a huge system is heading this way from the Reno/Lake Tahoe area. Hopefully the high country will get a foot or two of snow out of this.

Late last week when that first storm blew through AZ, the AZ Snowbowl ski resort got 64 inches in one storm. Slightly more coming through tonight which may pass through the Four Corners area into COLO.

It did pass through, though dropping less snow than the recent storms did.

Just wait till winter goes straight from snow and cold to high heat and “exceptional drought.” What happened to springs and autumns?!

We had only 10 minutes of rain in Mesa County yesterday afternoon but it came down good. The high country should get quite a bit out of this system for the next couple days. 8 to 12 inches is forecast. High avalanche danger in the high country, especially around the Red Mountain Pass area.

Brrr is the word for not only Colorado but several plains states. I'm looking at Mesa County's NBC affiliate- KKCO right now. The five day forecast has the Grand Junction area to drop to the mid 30's by Saturday and stay that way for a few days. Now on the other side of the continental divide---BRR! Single digit temperatures for the next several days on the east side. Yeow!

And this system is going a ways south. I have a high school buddy who lives near Roswell New Mexico that I talked to last night and this system is going to give THEM single digit temperatures on Sunday.

All right. After Autumn... Ask anyone around the area about accuracy. Arctic activities are abundant, astonishing, astounding and A-1 on all accounts. -Back up... -But before beach bodies, bros better bundle up in boots, blankets, and balaclavas, because a bloody, bitter breeze will blow brisk, blustery and bleak. -Careful... Correct and common to cocoon in a cap, coat, and comforter, because a cutting cold can consume your character, occasionally create a corpse and continually compress your cooough! Don't... -Don't you dare dawdle, dilly-dally, or ditch around after dark in December, she's definitely damn drafty if you're down a duvet. -Easily... -Each and every earthling's environmentally enslaved. -Fact... -It's F-ing freezing. It's friggin' frigid. You're fit for flu in February without fleece, flannel, full-fledged furnace, or fire. -Go on... -It's G-damn glacial, go grab gloves or garb and gear up for gusts. -Hear ya... -Hypothermia, if you don't heat your home to half hellish it's harsh. Hibernate in a hoodie, hot chocolate, Harry and the Hendersons. -Infinitely icy... -Inhabit indoors. Isolated and insulated. Incubate the igloo. Illness is an issue. Influenzas implied. Infections imminent. Immunity is impossible. -Just Joking... -Just joshing, jargon, It ain't jail Jack! Jackets in January's no jigsaw. -Keep calm... -Killjoys keep comfy in their kingdom, crashing kilos of Kleenex, keen for kozy kayaking with their kids when the key is killing kegs with yer kin. -Literally... -Losers live life locked in their lairs, lingering lazy and lifeless, lost like legit loners, while the leaders in larger learning let loose. -Muff... Earmuffs, Mittens and mucus medicine, till mighty maniacal Mother Nature makes milder, mellower, and meltier moves. Motivate your mates, like the Moose Marc Messier. Maybe mix a martini for your maiden, -if you've met your match. -Nature. Naturally nippy, but that's nothing new up North. Normal naturistic narrative, not national news. -Overcast. -Overcoats and overshoes, obviously. -Polar. Parkas and pullovers, particularly. -Tried Quail? A quantity of quality quilts is quaint and quasi-quintessential to avoid quivering and quash quarrelling if quarantined to one's quarters. Try quail. -Reindeer. -Well, not raw, rookie. In a rosemary-rubbed roast with radish, wrapped in rich, rare bacon after removing Rudolph's red nose. -Sleddin'. -So, we're sound. Sled's a synonym for snowmobiles. Snowmobiles a synonym for sled, so Super?
-Says our buddy Wayne from up North.
