OK Snow God I promise never to...brag about the weather in Denver

By
Real Estate Agent with Novella Real Estate

horses in the pastureGolfers know never ever to get puffed up about a good golf shot.  You know the perfect shot that only comes often enough to keep you chasing that stupid white ball around a golf course.  Why? Because if a golfer gloats, brags, puffs up or gets a fat head, the rest of the game will be cursed.  Doomsday will come or seemingly so before another good shot comes along.

So golfers remain cool, calm and maintain a low profile.  Always, or else!

Here in the lovely Mile High City of Denver, we are having our 3rd snow storm, in less than 3 weeks.  The guys on the radio are now predicting a blizzard for every Friday. They have noticed a pattern here.

I'm afraid it's all my fault.

Yes, I brag about the awesome weather in Colorado.  Many, many New Year's Day found me and my hubby on the golf course somewhere, hitting balls in a real game of golf. 

But not this year.  I think my bragging weather ways have boomeranged me right into blizzard hell.  The snow is falling and falling and falling.  My patio is full again.  So are my trash cans. There is no produce (worth buying) in the stores.

Yes, I own snowshoes, but my intent was to use them in the mountains, where the snow belongs (HINT HINT!)

Please dear Snow God, give me back my normal, bright sunny Colorado winter.  I promise I will never brag about our weather....

Portsmouth Temps - 1/6/2007 - Ann CummingsKristal - take a look at this pic - this was here in Portsmouth NEW HAMPSHIRE today, JANUARY 6th !!   73 DEGREES on January 6th!

We shattered a record for temperatures here from way back in 1913.  We are just as baffled by our weather as you all are by yours.  But, back in the late summer or early fall, they were talking about this being a very mild winter for us in New England because of the El Nino effects.  And look how things are going across the country!!

I'm sure you'll get back to your 'normal' Denver weather before too long.  As for us, as weird as it seems to be this warm here, it is kinda nice.  Not so great for those who depend on snow - snow plow folks, ski resorts, snow equipment sellers, etc.

Guess I don't want to change places with you...I'm not that fond of snow. As I have mentioned before its been absolutely tropical here in RI...we're waiting for the big Freeze. Quick question to prove a point. A lot of people are sick here and everyone is saying its because theres no cold to kill the germs. Whats the cold and flu status in Denver this year?

I think Colorado still has great weather.  Now that I spend a good part of my time in AZ . I do believe we (when I'm in CO) still have great weather.  Of course, easy for me to say cause I haven't been back since the 36-40 inches.  It really is a great place.  It's just that sometimes the good Lord has to punish Coloradans when they start feeling good about how things are goin.  This is the year for it to happen.

Jay ~ what fun to actually drive something and be guaranteed to be the winner!  I was teasing about the WWI...as you know I adore you!  I was actually around in 1954, looking forward to kindergarten :)

I've always thought I like to own a tank, it would be an awesome vehicle to have on the Interstate!

Monika, Karen, Ken and Ann ~ the weather seems to abnormal in many places.  What's strange for us is the frequency.  They are forcasting yet another snow storm next Friday...

Karen ~ I'm not sure if the sickness is related to cold.  My brother had some kind of flu after  Christmas.  for me, I'm feeling better now than I have in months.  Guess it has something to do about all the moaning and complaining I'm doing here in Colorado! :)

I went out today to my favorite place of buffalos.  When the snow first came they were pracing and romping in the snow.  Today they were bored with the whole scene.

We had another day in the high 50's here in New England.  We are heading to Florida to golf in a week - it is going to seem mighty strange when we are still able to golf here.  I'd rather be leaving snow behind.

janeAnne ~ I can understand why from your blogs.  You do an excellent job of representing your area.

Linda ~ I know what you mean.  It's always nice to be running from the nasty weather.  Maybe you can look forward to returning to it after the week of golf?  :(

Jennifer ~ OK that makes sense.  I'll send this freezing wind I'm hearing your way...

Jeff ~  From you I take that as the ultimate compliment.  Do you know of a blog platform I should look into?  BTW I noticed your Rocky Mtn. Park photos, you know  your way around a camera...they are awesome.  Thanks for helping Colorado look marvelous!

At the risk of being too vulgar . . . do they eat yellow snow?

Am going to the corner now!

kk, I did find one rainer from Col. that blogs not as much as you but Ken Deshaises is active here from summit county.  The others blog elsewhere as one from Denver told me and with all the snow you have there can't be much showing going on in that weather so you would think they would all have time to do it.

Hi Teri, Ken blogs frequently on his "other blog".  He used to be a regular here, but he's deserted us...:)

Yes, we are getting more snow right now. The worst part is the Artic air, the temp is in the single digits. brrr
It should be gone in a few days. I'm so over this nasty weather.
