All day we have had high clouds, maybe 15-60% cover. A
strong cold wind has been blowing all afternoon, but nothing unusual. Then
bang, this squall centered 12 miles to the south.
We are not unique having abrupt changes of weather but it
always catches the pilgrim immigrants, and locals who should
know better, unaware.
The North-South Front Range runs from 9,000’ to 14,000’. In
just 10-15 mile in the lee is relative flat ground 4,000’ to 6,000’. That can
brew some nasty weather even to the jet stream touching down.
The dog and I are snugly inside with no need to go anywhere
and a fresh pot of coffee is brewing. Life is good!

The power grid went down here at 7:30 am and just now snapped on. I'm glad that I'm not dependent on it.
Good that you have an independent source.
When I was coming back from the Doctor's the other day I saw something very similar coming over the top of Horestooth Mountain. Really neat to see, and 20 minutes later it started snowing.
Got some flurries today, but not much stuck around.
If we lost power here we'd be chopping up furniture to feed the fireplace!
Smart move!

Strongly recommend buying two sacks of lump coal and tucking away in some corner. If your fireplace will handle wood, it will handle lump coal. 1/4 of a sack will last 12-14 hours.

No, lazy.
Where can I get lump coal?
Try Tractor Supply. If not in stock they can get it. Also stores selling fireplaces and freestanding stoves.
