Once again, Nature shows who is boss. All
along the Colorado/New Mexico Rockies there hasn’t been enough snow for the ski
resorts to open. A huge negative economic impact for the tourist industry but a
boon to commercial travels and truckers.
Last winter snow started early and stayed
late. Spring followed with a lot of moisture making the prairies greener than I’ve
seen them in many years. Now they are going back to brown.
This time last year my SHTF winter
backpack went into the Prius I drive 500 miles a day three days a week each start of shift.This year, other
than unpacking it, checking the contents, replacing batteries, etc. it hasn’t
been touched.
A mild winter isn’t good news. The areas
East and West of the Rockies are high desert. Water is life.
On a personal level I’m enjoying the mild
weather. Soon enough I will be driving in Wyoming blizzards.
You take the bad with the good and I do it gladly to live where my roots are.

Drive safe, you never know when the weather is going to jump up and bite one in the butt...
You should see the number of weather/travel sites I have bookmarked. They get checked before I leave to work.
The drought is hurting many of us. We are having huge (for us) forest fires in NW GA and the smoke is traveling all the way to NE GA where I live. The little valley in front of our house looks like fog. It smells good, though. But we NEED rain bad. The beefers here are complaining about not even finding rolls of grass to buy and paying out the ass for those they do find. Is a rain dance done with two steps or in a box fashion?
Rocky Mountain rain dance is usually a fist fight in the parking lot of a county fair.
