The Real Effects of the Recent Colorado Snow... I'm Not Smiling.

OMG..Mariana, I had no idea that it was that bad. Never thought of the water supply or the poor cattle. I'm sorry about that Mariana!  Here in NH we have had near summer like weather...very strange indeed. Wish I had answer for you.

I'll try Mariana...I have a feeling it's gonna leave us soon anyway!

Winter is bound to arrive here...someday.

How much snow do you normally get? 

Don't talk to me about balance with Mother Nature - look at the devastating hurrincanes here lately.  I think we need to give to MN to be able to receive.   I hope it gets better and the snow learns where to pack itself.

Mariana - I heard about the livestock on the news a couple of days ago.  I don't think most of us think about that kind of impact unless we're right there.  I also saw on the news the stories about the avalanches that hit the highway - that was scary to hear about.

I do hope it gets better for you very soon.  Even though we're enjoying unbelieveable weather here, there are also those here who are being hit hard because we have NO snow and no cold weather.  Those who depend on snow, ice, and cold weather are really hurting this year.  I'm loving the lower oil bills for heating, but I do feel really bad for those affected by the strange weather we're all having.

In Las Vegas, we rely on Colorado snowfall for our water supply from the Colorado River. I just wish you guys had a chance to play around and have fun with it before sending it our way. Hopefully this will improve in the next couple of months for you. What kind of assistance is there for the ranchers?

Mariana ~ Mother Nature needs to reposition her GPS.  GO WEST MOTHER!

We don't need no stickin' snow...Denver, Colorado

Mariana - I, too, would take snowstorms any day over just about any other kind of weather Mother Nature could dish out!

Hope you guys get a well-deserved weather break soon, and that you get the snow in the areas that really need it.

Wow Mariana.. poor cows! and of course, the snow would accumulate where it's not helping. yikes! Our situation is similar with the Hurricanes.. everything stops. literally.  I'm not waiting 4 hours in line for gas when there is no where to go.  We are begging for a cool breeze down here. "What happened to winter?", we keep asking. :))

Oh! Look! A Butterfly! aka Mariana...

Look at it this way, you are not alone. Like Ines said you have snow we deal with hurricanes and tornado's.

If I could negotiate the weather with Mother Nature, I would take the snow and pass on the hurricanes and tornado's. 

Hope all gets back to normal soon.

TLW...ROAR!
