when rivers freeze and summer ends
« on: December 15, 2008, 09:09:25 AM »
Winter is here with a vengence  this morning in the rockies. The temp right now is -20, damn cold. We got a slightly late start to winter this year. I've actually been fishing a bunch up until last week. Over a foot of snow has fallen since friday with more in the forecast. I probably won't see temps above freezing until march now. Hibernation is starting to sound good to me.

Sounds like another good snowpack in the making out there - our bluelines sure could use it after the dry weather trend the last two years. 

Does that van of yours have four-wheel drive?...

four wheel drive for sure up here. I have to use it just to get out of the plowed driveway most days

Sometimes I think it'd be cool to live up there but then posts like this reaffirm that I'm in the right place. :P

adamtn/co-Hang in there.  Think about how good it's going to be next spring.

Mike-I have one word for you.  Dualresidence.   ;D

Cept it's a little tough on the budget.  Our kids don't know it yet, but we are selling this house and them rooming with them during the winters.  Bwahahahahaha.
Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."
