Mother Nature is a Fracking B*tch!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their summer. Yes, I said enjoyed. Did you miss it? It was last week; beautiful temperatures, sunny skies, and the snow almost melted completely away. Alas, it is over and winter is here once again. It is currently dumping snow. The wind is howling and it is friggin’ cold outside. Al Gore can take his Global Warming and shove it up his sizeable ass!

Update:
It is now 7:30PM and the wind has picked up. The house actually shudders with some of the gusts. And it is a complete blizzard. Perhaps this is the beginning of the next Ice Age. There is one week left in April and if this keeps up, I may have to shovel snow tomorrow. We might have two months of summer this year. I am not happy.

Harley in the Snow

It has continued to dump snow on us for a few days and nights now. We are definitely going to have a very white Christmas. The snow plow has made the removal of the snow more fun than work and our driveway looks like a parking lot. Good news if you are Harley. He has a hard time busting through the deep snow, so all of the extra room in the driveway translates into more roaming territory for the old man. Here’s a little clip of him enjoying some snow.

Tis the Season for Slippin’, Slidin’ and Ditch Ridin’

The snow has finally decided to fall in Routt County. Nighttime temperatures have also taken a plunge. The roads are coated in an icy layer of snow pack. All of which can create some difficult driving conditions. Difficult, that is, if you drive like a moron. Such was the case with our neighbor pictured below. She is notorious for having quite a lead foot when it comes to acceleration. I happened to be standing on the back porch when I witnessed this beautifully executed maneuver. She managed to come around the corner with such speed and enough force to actually glide over the ditch and stick the car in the side of the hill. Unfortunately, the photo just doesn’t do it justice. It will be a tough one to beat.

The Day Before Thanksgiving

Mt. Werner MoonEver since that first snowfall at the beginning of the month we have been experiencing amazingly beautiful weather. Blue skies, sunshine and temperatures in the fifties. Although I happen to be enjoying this weather immensely, the skiers are not too thrilled. Ski Corp has announced that it won’t be opening the mountain until the end of the month. This announcement has gone over like a fart in church with all sorts of nasty comments being hurled towards the new owners, Intrawest. I’m no expert, but I don’t think snow can be made at temperatures in the fifties.
The snow will come as it always does and it has. Ten inches of lovely, heavy, wet snow has fallen overnight. Looks like it’s going to be a white Thanksgiving after all Charlie Brown.
