20. Front range... Larimer County.

21. Fort Collins? Loveland?
my parents lived in Ft.Collins before they moved to Estes Park.

Now my Dad lives there by himself since my Mom died. I keep wishing he'd move back down where more people live, his doctor lives, etc. But he won't.

ahhhhh, it's beautiful there though.

23. Fort Collins
AKA Suburbia at The Foothills... Estes Park is lovely! I've taken many trips up there, typically after snowshoeing trips. There's great burgers at Grubsteak.

Mountain towns are wonderful

9. Your first snow?
Where were you when I had 2 feet in my yard??? I just did the ski report and that showed that just about everyone got snow over the past 24 hrs.

It's snowing here, too. Damn weatherman said it wasn't s'posed to start until late tonight.

He lied. Dammit.

11. This is really the first significant snow we've had up here this season...
although we did have an early snow in October and another earlier this month... not too significant.

Mr. Writer and I were slip, slip sliding down the road on our way home from the gym. Wicked dangerous!

12. We Coloradoans (Coloradans?) really should cluster together...
I can bundle twigs together, and we can start a fire for warmth. Can someone bring some brandy? ;)
