Today was a very weird weather day. In the morning when we were going to church it was sunny and very mild. Temps were already in the mid 30s and there was a high degree of melting going on. By noon, with temps now in the low 40s, it became overcast and very windy. And by 1pm, it started to snow. But instead of snow, it was ice pellets. Very strange to see this with the temps still in the low 40s. But by 2pm, as we were getting ready to go to the Dam Brewery to watch the BIG game, the sun came out and again the melting process was underway. So we went to the Dam around 3:30pm to get a good seats at the bar. By kick off, which was at 4:30pm, it again started to snow very lightly. It almost looked like RAIN. It still was very mild. And by the time the game was over, all of the snow was over and it was a beautiful star lit night. At 10pm, the temp only dropped to 33 degrees. Overall, it was a very boring day much like the BIG GAME.

Tuesday Feb 26, 2019 (FINAL REPORT)

This will be my last update for my blog. We will be leaving Colorado and traveling to Cottonwood Arizona to visit relatives. It was a wonderful time in Colorado . Today was the mildest day so far. It was 28 degrees at 7am and went up to 41 by 3pm. The sun was in its full glory and you had to put on plenty of sun screen. The only problem with this weather is the morning hours where there is a refreeze of the slush from the day before . This not only includes the parking lots but the snow that hasn’t been groomed. Chunks of ice are all over the place until the melting process begins. The next few days will continue the mild weather. Thank you for reading my blog.

We had a little of each today. It was a weird weather day. This morning started under sunny skies and temps around 28 degrees. However, the weather report was still calling a BIG storm. So we went to Keystone to catch the first chair. The snow was good and the trails all groomed. We skied our usual 2 hours and with the Friday crowds starting to show up we went home. But by 2pm, heavy snow started and we had a very quick 3-4 inches. The snow turned the roadways into parking lots and I70 was closed again because of multiple spin outs. As quickly the snow started falling, by 5pm it was only very light snow. So I don’t know if that was the BIG storm that was coming. The roadways were still a mess so we stayed in for the night. Tomorrow morning we will see the storm totals. Whatever the totals it will be great skiing for the vacationers.
