Today was actually quite nice, and we were able to go on a walk. (Saw rare birds! That's exciting for me, lol.)

The weather front is supposed to move in early tomorrow, and has gone from "slightly cool and rainy" to "BETWEEN ONE AND TWO FEET OF SNOW."

The snow totals are for the foothills and mountains, and it's very possible we won't actually get any here. BUT WHAT IF.

I'm just so fucking sick of winter.

"BETWEEN ONE AND TWO FEET OF SNOW."

NO. WHY???? ;_;

[mistressofmuses]

EXACTLY! WHYYYYY??? (Fingers crossed the snow all sticks to the higher elevations. There's a decent chance it'll stay rain where I am, but we're right on the edge of "we're not sure which one it'll be!")

That's a big swing between forecasts!

[mistressofmuses]

A HUGE swing in the forecast! I knew that the rain was because of a big storm system moving through, but for THAT MUCH snow to enter the forecast only about 36 hours before hitting feels a little weird.

I saw that about the snow, which is why I mentioned it previously. Rain is bad enough, but that much snow seems a tad excessive.

I'm just so fucking sick of winter.

I feel you. And we're not even getting the snow. I hope you don't get as much as forecasted. *fingers crossed* Like, maybe none?!!

Are you familiar with Fort Morgan, CO? I'm watching Hometown Takeover on HGTV, which has two of my fave renovation couples on it this season, and they redid that small town to help bring it back to life. Fort Morgan gets a renovation on HGTV's "Home Town Takeover" (denver7.com) The first ep aired Sunday, if it's something you'd be interested in checking out. (I'm sure they'll re-air it before the next ep this coming Sunday.)

That much snow is TOTALLY excessive. I think we heard the forecast around the same time, lol. I'd just gotten the storm warning when I woke up yesterday, and saw your comment shortly after, lol

Fingers definitely crossed for none snow, lol. That is possible - we're on the edge of the snow/rain line, so if it doesn't cross us, it'll just be dismal cold rain, which is better than feet of snow!

I do know where Fort Morgan is! We've been there a few times - it's north and east of us, but a lot of the summer thunderstorms move right through there, and we've been up there passing through while following interesting storms before. That's so cool that they did that sort of larger-scale renovation project! I could see that being a very good thing to revitalize a town like that. (I actually thought Fort Morgan was bigger! I guess it's just the biggest thing on that stretch of the plains.) I wonder if any of the HGTV shows air on any of the streaming platforms I have... I'll have to look into that!

Did you guys actually miss the snow? That's what I thought they said on TWC this morning.

Very cool! This is the largest they've done, with 6 homes (of people who make a difference - in the first ep it was a single mom who runs an equine therapy ranch), 6 businesses, and 6 community spaces. Murals, man! I know that HGTV shows stream on Discovery+, but I'm not sure where all you can get that, as I can't stream. Yet. One day I will have the internet necessary for that.Nex

Next time you pass through you'll have to stop to take pictures for me, lol!! In front of the murals!

[mistressofmuses]

We did miss the snow! :D

That is a big project. But yay, murals! If we pass through there we'll have to look and get pictures!

I don't have Discovery+, but we might wind up with it at some point - Alex has wanted it for a handful of shows, too.

Ugh. So many hugs. I'm so sorry that winter is still plaguing you. Honestly, and I know it's not as cold here as there, but when it rained last week, we got a mini cold front in that knocked it back into the 50s during the day for a day or two and then in the low 50s at night, which after putting the a/c back on (now we've got it way up, though, so that it won't come on), it's made the house freezing cold inside. I hate that.

I hope you guys don't get that snow!

[mistressofmuses]

Thank you! I really do love spring, but the roller coaster up and down weather stuff is annoying. I'm glad we've had some nice days, and certainly wouldn't want to have *not* had them, but having had a couple days in the 70s and even 80s makes "two feet of snow" extra insulting, lol.

Fingers crossed it just stays rain for us! (Though it's almost certainly going to have some pretty bad accumulation at my office. :/ )
