Been gone for awhile.

I see it has been awhile since I posted anything. We have been busy or the time would not have gone by so fast but it seems that I did not have anything to talk about. Well I do now. It is snowing or at least it was. We got the first snow of the year around here this morning. I didn't think we would get any but I was wrong this time. When ever the weatherman talks about snow or rain or anything like that it seems that it just goes right around us. We live in what is called the brown hole. Yes you heard me right the brown hole. I have even heard it called that by some weathermen. Let me explain. Our particular geographical location has us surrounded on almost 3 sides by mountains. So when we get storms the have a tendency to start to the north of us, begin to head south strait for us and then turn to the west around us towards Canon City. Move south and then angle back to the east again to hit Walsenburg.

If you do not believe me I will give you a good example. A couple of years ago there was a huge storm coming in. Everyone was getting prepared for it, and it did dump a lot of snow. Just not on us! Everyone in all four directions around us got snow and a lot of it, shutting down the roads and everything. Did we get anything? NOPE, I even went to work that day.Needless to say I did not think that we would get anything today. It is still snowing right now but it does not seem to be sticking yet.

 I talked to my son this morning,who lives in Greeley, and they had several big branches fall out of the trees around the house and even one that took down the power line in his back yard. They are telling him that they will not get the power on for a day or two. I hope he will be alright. He may be 25 but I still worry about him. Guess I will go for now.  We will see what the rest of the day brings.Stay warm everyone!
