From Fall to Winter...

This weekend finally saw the opening of our ski resorts.  Loveland Basin opened earlier this morning, with A-Basin opening tomorrow.  As much as I would love to be there for opening day, I cannot.  Perhaps next weekend, after this week's exams are done. 

This Fall is showing many beautiful colors if advance of the winter season to come.  I don't remember the colors being this vibrant for some time.

Looking west, I see the clouds hovering in the mountains.  Up there above 9000', they are getting some much needed snow.  Winter Storm Warnings and Advisories are out for much of the mountains, with many areas expected to receive 10"-18" of snow! 

Ahhhh... the views one can wake up to!  Have a great week everyone!



Here Comes the Rain...

Finally, it looks like our dry spell is coming to an end (at least for now).  It's a pleasant sight to see the Cumulus forming, knowing that the rain isn't too far away.  We desperately need the moisture, not only for the vegetation, but also to settle all the junk that's been floating around in the air. 

The mountains are also looking at their first real snowfall of the season.  The ski resorts have yet to open, because temperatures have been unseasonably warm.  Hopefully next Friday, one of them will open.  I'm ready to go down the hill and play in the snow.  Now, to pray for La Nina to at least bless the mountains with lots of snow!

Welcome!

Good evening all!

This is the birth of my first blogspot. There's so much I want to do, but mostly, I want to share my weather experiences and research with those I know, or who may have similar interests. 

Not only do I plan on sharing my summer chase experiences, but I also want to share the beautiful sights that a Colorado winter has to offer.  Let's not stop there, I enjoy all aspects of the weather, and that's what you'll see here.

I need to close for now, but let me close with my favorite sunset picture of recent, and as my homework load allows, I will be adding to this as warranted. 

Until next time, take care!
