The rain has begun to fall in the Boulder-Denver area and soon turning into snow. The unfavorable thing about snow during the holidays is the overcrowding of our ski areas. Otherwise, I believe that most Coloradans (with the exception of those on our eastern plains) accept and tolerate snow because of the abundance of winter sport activities. In addition, snow helps Colorado’s economy, and we appreciate that.

I’ll take some photos of the white stuff for our coastal members who yearn for it.

Here's some of our ski areas...

I try to stay away from Colorado in the winter but I'll be there from Monday, January 19th to Friday, the 23rd. I'm flying in to Colorado Springs from an ElliptiGO meet in Phoenix. I'm skeerd of the cold and snow. I'll be there to help my sister after she has surgery.

Okay. This is what it’s like at my house…photos of snow, and more snow, along with my Christmas gift(s).
For me the gifts never stopped coming. Several mistakenly purchased the same gift.



Christmas evening’s snow. The weather people got it right!

The morning after Christmas. It’s still snowing.



Happy Holidays to all.

Cool gary. You can have it. Been great so far in MI with green grass so far. I can remember a New Years Eve we had to walk for a long way home because the bus could not drive into the sub it was so deep. This year none is forecasted between now and the Eve.

Weird not having snow for Christmas. Weirder still, hand washing my car Christmas Eve in Upstate, NY.

Thanks for sharing, Gary. Please keep the snow in your area.

I just headed out with my camera a for a bit, (no inspiration struck me) and also did the grocery shopping. 46 degrees! I don't mind wearing just a fleece jacket on 12/26.

PS I don't like grocery shopping to begin with, but even less in the cold and snow.
