The news story of the morning was the snow quall that hit Denver late yesterday afternoon and caused a 49 car pile up on the entrance to Denver International Airport. Pena Blvd. was closed for 5 hours after a flash freeze, which dropped the temp about 15 degrees in 15 minutes, caused the pile up. 17 people were taken to the hospital.



This morning, cold temps are back. It was 3 degrees under partly sunny skies. After church we went to the “Pond” to watch the annual Pond hockey tournament. There were about 50 teams from around the country trying to win. About 20 games go on at the same time and it is a double loss elimination tournament. It is a lot of fun to watch. After lunch we went to the Raven County club to see our friend Moe Dixon sing.  The music ended around 6pm and we returned home to rest up for tomorrow. The temp never got above 15 degrees. And the forecast for tomorrow is more of the same cold weather.

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.
