Worth noting that any snow that falls tonight will probably stick on roads…will have some slick spots, even if totals are unimpressive.
Slick spots late tonight/tomorrow morning.
And of course, the mountains will be tough driving tonight and tomorrow morning.

Before I left the other place last November I screen-captured some useful threads. This thread by David Lambert was one of them. This morning I was glad to discover that David copied it to Bluesky about the same time. It is timely when discussing following orders versus following conscience.
A thread on the great Silas Soule, one of the few figures from Old West history that I unequivocally consider a hero.

Your cornbread recipe should have equal amounts of corn meal & flour, or else it is not cornbread. I substitute vegetable oil for the shortening in this recipe. In Colorado you should add 1/4 of water to compensate for the fact that our flour is drier.

Buy your pass in December. The closest place to buy the passes in the Denver metro area is the BLM office in Building 40 in the Federal Center in Lakewood. Nearest entrance is Gate 1 on Kipling north of Alameda.

One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.
