I saw that flair up on my way from Longtucky to Boulder at about 4. It's not really in a spot that can hurt anything but they were on that shit fast with the heli's.Quote:

The speed and ferocity with which attacked that was fucking awesome! The dogs and I sat for a good half hour and watched them suffocate that thing. Really cool.
It rained quite a bit in Empire yesterday. Heavy rain in Breckenridge today, with strong winds that blew over a few trees along Hwy. 9. Frisco and Silverthorne got a few good showers too. Keep it coming. In my opinion, any rain is good rain, with or without lighting.Quote:

Solid work here.
How's the smoke level in Summit County looking? May shift my plans to bike all next week up there if it's pretty bad.
It's currently a little hazy, but not that bad. From Breck I can still see the Williams Fork Range north of Silverthorne pretty clearly.Quote:

Starts slow and the music is a little drama-queen. There's some good nighttime footie early on, but watch the shit hit the fan at 7:00 when the wind kicks in:

Front range weather report...
My nuts are sweaty for the umpteenth day in a row. This fucking sucks.
Edit: Hey my nuts were right. Hottest June on record.
Monsoonal moisture flow looks to be in the works for CO this week. Bring it!Quote:

HOT and no rain again today. A few clouds this afternoon but no moisture. I'm still hoping we get wet later this week.
rain the last 3-4 days here and rained pretty much all afternoon and early evening on the 4th...much needed!
Summit had drizzling rain on and off all day yesterday. Looks like we are heading into a period of better chances for rain. 40-50% for the next two weeks. Bring it on! Felt good getting muddy on a mtb ride yesterday!Quote:

finally rained some here yesterday. We headed to the pool around 4 and it started raining some and kept up lightly for about an hour or so....FKNA awesome. More please and temps look to be in the high 60s for the weekend!
storms right out of the south today, and the last 15 have been our biggest rain storm of the year....POURING at the house, thunder, light show, awesome!
I was caught in a downpour riding my bike on the keystone aqueduct trail about an hour ago. It was definitely a good feeling. Except for the hail, that stung a bit.
great moisture here all afternoon...no hard downpours like yesterday, just steady light rain from about 1:30.
3" in three and a half days!
