Seriously?

It’s currently -2 degrees outside, and I just saw one of our neighbors snapping skis into the rack on his car.

Snowy Boulder reflections

If I was a poet, I’d spend some time describing the peace of this morning’s snowy run–the trees burdened with heavy powder, the quiet broken only by the pound of my footsteps …

They were awesome.

So it’s been cold here in Boulder today. Really cold. Minnesota cold. High of -2 cold.  Let’s close a bunch of schools, cold.

And one of my colleagues at the Daily Camera was aghast when he read that the Boulder branch of Girl Scouts of America had shut down due to freezing temps as well.

“You’d think if anybody could survive this weather, they could!”
