Putting the snow tires on yesterday was aspirational (and because of appt availability).

Denver has at least tied its warmest Christmas Eve on record, and a decent chance we just broke the record.
70° so far today...nearly 30° above average.

just a reminder it snowed in denver colorado once upon a time
The Blizzard of '82 started 43 years ago tonight, Denver's 5th-biggest snowstorm on record (23.8"), with 30-40" totals west.
It took 33 hours for Stapleton Airport to re-open, and the storm contributed to then-Mayor Bill McNichols getting voted out a few months later.

Thinking back to how (nonsmoking) family members first resisted our city’s vote to remove smoking from bars because “personal freedoms” and I’m glad the ban happened anyway.

Now up to three separate spots with 100+ gusts in/near Boulder, two within the past hour.
Again: It's considerably drier than Wednesday, and the wind started earlier (longer lasting wind event). Hence the extra concern today compared to Wednesday.

We still have no power. We have not showered in what feels like a fortnight. But as remote workers, we must go out now in search of food and internet, fighting off rivals for open outlets. I shall endeavor to write you, unless my device perishes.
