It is almost mid May and we woke up to a layer of snow.

    I grew up in the Nebraska part of Colorado, 'bout 45 mins S/W of Sidney or 120 miles N/W of Denver.

    I stayed in Greeley for a couple of summers as a kid and loved it! Maybe I'll take my next vacation in Colorado.

    We love it here. It is already hot out. We had a nasty blizzard about 3-4 years ago, and did no shoveling for 3 days. When we finally went out on the 4th day to dig out of the 3-4' it was already in the 60s.

    If you don't like the weather, wait 15 min and it will change[8D]

    33 degrees here in Sterling. Of course, I think you front rangers are hogging all the moisture, so we didn't get any here on the plains. Stop Bogarting the snow, willya?

    No, you don't gotta love Colorado, too much snow, too much traffic in Denver, but The Tattered Cover is a good book store, and Coors Field is one of the best looking ball parks in the country. The real problem with Colorado as I see it is that it makes Cabela's so far from NM. If it were not for colorado, I could be in Sidney in 3.5 hours.[}:)]

    Good to know. I'll be sure to stay closer to Denver this weekend. It had become a beautiful day here in Thornton (20min N of Denver)[:D]

    Colorado has too much traffic, and not just in Denver. The Front Range has become a So Cal or East Coast place.

    Well, being 45 minutes from Sidney could be expensive, and the road is not great either. I have been through Sterling several times on the way to Sidney, next time I will make arrangements to stop for pie and coffee Colonel.

    By golly, I'll even buy the coffee and pie. You just shoot me an email through Gunbroker and we'll set it up.

    Yeah, my birthday was April 26th, and I just sort of found myself at Cabela's. I called my wife to tell her where I was and she sort of whimpered. Then I told her I got a free hat....for filling a credit application. After a long, thoughtful pause, she asked what my limit was. I thought she'd be delighted that my credit was worth $4,000 to the folks at Cabela's. And to be fair, once she regained consciousness, she was delighted....that I only bought a case of 45acp ammo.
    My wife...I think I'll keep her.

    Sounds like a keeper alright. You are gonna love that card that gives you credit there. So far I have managed to pick up two Burris scopes, a half of a fly rod, and a Volquartson trigger for my 10/22. Now I am saving for rifles to go under the scopes. [:p][^]

    Can anyone here tell me what it is like around Hartzel? What are the folks like and what the average snow depth is in winter?

    Hartsel is out in South Park (the real South Park, not the TV show).
    VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY windy all the time.

    People there are nice, itty-bitty small town.

    Average snowfall? Hard to tell, the wind blows it all away before it can hit the ground. ;)

    I hesitated to call it that. I have 5 acres up Elkhorn road and off to the right a little just where it opens up into that huge meadow. Its part of the old South Park Ranch.
    Its cold there even in June I noticed. I was thinking that there's got to be tons of snow there in the winter.

    There is one guy off to the east just off the highway that uses a wind generator. That is a good spot to use that sort of energy.

    ONE of the reasons I don't live in Douglas County CO anymore- the dreaded horizontal snow storm- there are only 100 snowflakes- they just never land! We had one snowstorm on June 7th that killed everything in the garden. In all fairness, unless you are in the high country, and unless it is a real blizzard, typically it snows at night, and by 2pm you have bare sidewalks again. But MAN- the amount of washer fluid you go thru with the splashback, and about 1-2 windshields a year from the gravel they put on the roads instead of sand, and the traffic, and the cost of housing, and the 7% humidity, and........
