Today was the coldest day so far. Under cloudy skies, it was 2 degrees. There was a light snow for most of the day. Temps didn’t warm up pass 8 degrees and with a light wind, the wind chill remained around minus 20 degrees all day. We did however, get out of the house and we went to Keystone to try and ski. We had many layers of clothes on and covered up our face with a mask. Going up the lift, we felt the wind increasing and now temps were below zero at the top of the mountain. As we tried to ski, my feet quickly became cold and this is rare for me. But I knew I better not stay out too long. After 2 runs, we called it a day. After lunch at home, we took a long nap and then got ready to go to the Dam Brewery to see if anyone else tried to go skiing. We didn’t find more than 2 or 3 people that went skiing. Tomorrow morning is suppose to be even colder but the afternoon should be sunny and temps getting up into the mid 20s.

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.
