Getting Closer To Christmas

There is a lot to be said for living in a warmer climate, such as Dallas. It is 4:06 pm and 74 degrees outside right now. It is nice, I must admit. Having lived in Colorado all of my life though, it is hard to acclimate to this type of fall weather. I am used to wearing a jacket and watching the leaves change. Here, I can wear shorts today and watch people who are still watering their lawns. When the sun goes down it does cool off, but still, it is not the same. My cousin Meagan took the photo below a while back, and it really summarizes what is cool about Colorado. There can be several inches of snow and clear blue skies. I totally miss the fall in Colorado.



Oh, and check out the cool shot she has of the 16th Street Mall at Christmas time. You just have to be there sometime to understand.

It's snowing hard here in NE Colorado this afternoon. Huge flakes coming down. May get 3 to 5 inches before it's said and done but it's not -30 by any stretch but cold enough. Stay warm!!

Ya, I checked out the webcam on goyuma.com I'm a little jealous. We have tornado watches in effect right now, just west of Ft. Worth. Kinda crazy. I think we are supposed to be having some thunderstorms tonight.
