The official high today broke a record. 80F.

This graphic shows the change. 40+ F degree temperature drop in two days. And snow.

Welcome to Winter! At least for a couple of days anyway...

Here we go!
 
And it'll be back in the 70s again by Thursday....
 
And you're surprised? I've seen 40F - 50F fluctuations in Denver in HOURS. I mowed my lawn there in the snow once. It was literally snowing as I was cutting the frickin grass.

Played golf in my shirt sleeves in January, and February then went skiing.

Yeah right. :D

Its just Denver/Front Range weather. Don't like it? Wait and hour it'll change. You really want wacky, go up in the mountains.
 
I remember that from when we lived there 30 years ago. Quite an interesting place to live. And a pleasant place, too.
 
79*F today, tomorrow morning there'll be 7 inches of snow on the ground, tomorrow night it'll be 17*F.

Gotta love it. I'm from Florida. This is better that "Hot and Humid" every day.
 
In flying our phenom monthly from buffalo, ny to KBJC. Im leaving today! We wil have plenty of snow shortly. You can keep this stuff. Next time i land here it will be a snowy landing :(

But i will have my snowmobile gear and snowboard :)
 
Had to search hard in the Denver press for any coverage of the Democratic fundraisers at all. One TV station's website (CBS) doesn't even have an article on the President's arrival in town yet. Ha. :rofl:

Maybe the news truck broke down.

Only one fundraiser article had any details online, $5000/plate for dinner, and $10000 to have your picture taken with him. Screaming' deal. I guess the other stations didn't ask.

I assume that the second fundraiser is for $20/plate and hosted at the local Union hall. You know, supporting all those blue-collar folk who supposedly are the backbone of the Democratic Party and whom they care so deeply for. :rofl:

Here's the real reason...

Local Democratic Party Chairman, "It's absolutely critical that we win the Latino vote."

There ya have it. The real reason for the visit to Denver.

Tomorrow the speech on Student Loan rules changing will be about loan repayment rules will require that repayment will be capped to 10% of the borrowers discretionary income.

Whatever that means.

That'll be a fun government form... How will "discretionary" income be calculated? If you're driving a new car and carrying an iPad will those be "necessary" items, or "discretionary"?

Didn't the students know how much they were borrowing, and the repayment plan? They of course have the absolute best public educations that included math like how to calculate compounding interest, right?
 
Big change here on the island, too. It's gone from the mid-90s every day, to the high 80s every day. Danged, if it doesn't feel a bit chilly.

When we were in Austin last week, it was in the 60s at night, and we were wearing jackets and long pants. I was so ashamed.

In Wisconsin, if it was in the 60s in October, we were swimming. I have been...assimilated.

Smartest thing my parents ever did was move out of Buffalo to Phoenix.

Hey, he's from Chicago. He knows what lake effect snow is. This is a mild little dusting of snow.

Good point. The coldest I've ever felt was in Chicago working outdoors with a cutting torch on a fire escape in January and February.

I'll pass on ever going back. :)
