    Pretty typical forecast for the front range in Colorado.
    We are at the intersection of cold/ wet......mild/snowy and warm/dry.
    Just depends on which way the wind is blowing on any given day.
    If it's a Pacific front it dumps all the moisture on the west side of the divide
    and we get cold/dry. If it's a low pressure tracking across AZ/NM,
    we get upslope and get dumped on. ....and if either of those track too
    far north or too far south...we get nothing.
    I still rely on the Les Nessman's eye witness weather report.

    So which of these two maps is it? They are very different...or maybe FA is hedging their bets now...weather forecasters :picard:

    My winter prediction, we'll have some cold, some snow and we'll talk stoves, firewood, low and high temps and Zap will burn some cherry.

    I didn't have my camera on a walk this afternoon but I saw my first woolly bear today, it had a very long rust brown section which could mean a milder winter.

    Saw this guy out at the goat pen this evening. Looks like he may be half and half. Possibly just a little more orange.....
