Indian Summer...

I love it when we have a mid-winter warm-up! It is a picture perfect day in Monument today...temperature is 66 degrees, no wind and not a cloud in the sky.

I remember when I was a young sales type working western Canada in the '70's and the locals in Calgary would call this type of weather a Chinook. Our weather gurus in the central Colorado region call it "downslope wind". Whatever you call it - I love the result...no snow and warm weather!

Since we are only 1/2 of the way through the snow season in Colorado, I need to relish the day while keeping the snow shovel handy. More as the 2011 winter progresses....
