Shall we huddle together for warmth?
It's a bit frosty out there. Sprinkles of moondust sparkling on the firmament.

Who has the brandy?

2. The current temp for Fort Collins reads 0 degrees.
It was 3 degrees this morning. Could it possibly be getting chillier?

3. How could it possibly get any chillier?
I took a short walk outside to go to lunch, and my facial muscles were so cold that my jaw started to knot up while I was chewing!

5. Feels like -17 there according to the weather channel.
My daughter had frost bitten fingers after walking to class from her car. She had a test, bless her heart. But she defrosted. You all are COLD up there. In Colorado Springs we are a quite balmy 10 and it "feels like" -1. Durango, where my son goes to school, is an amazing subtropical 35.

6. That's Colorado for you.
I was waiting in line at a McDonalds yesterday and saw a high school kid walk in with nothing more than a loose short-sleeved shirt. Must be the hormones. ;)

8. -8 in Boulder County. WC -17.
Got a cat on my lap and no water - the main outside the house broke.

Better the water main than the gas main.....

10. Having lived in COLO until 3 yrs ago........
.....I can assure you that -3, -8, -17 is but a taste of what you could be getting.

Anyone remember the Thanksgiving blizzard of 1982? Remember the Christmas blizzard of 1983?? Then there was a September heavy wet snow in the 90's I think, and we were without power for a week-and-a-half that time. Yes, I remember a few of those storms Colo has always been so infamous for.

Good luck everyone and stay warm!!

BTW, is Gov Owens paying for his blind support of Bush yet????
