How much of a “Colorado” kid are you? If you’ve been here for more than a few years, you shouldn’t be fooled into thinking that it is winter yet. We probably have a few more 90° days between now and Thanksgiving. We probably have several 70° days between now and the first of January...including Christmas and New Year’s Day. We probably have several 60°+ above timberline.

A couple of days of cool weather isn’t an indicator that we should be breaking out the studded tires yet.
