That's what a cold front boiling off the mountains looks like.

We had some horrendous winds yesterday. Over 60mph here in my county. I had bought some new baby trees to replace those that had croaked, or just to put new trees in (I love trees) and one of them got broken by the wind. So it's dead.


So I decided, that since they're predicting snow for us tonight, let's go ahead & get one last picture of the front yard as is. Need to bust butt tonight preparing for snow (getting last minute buckets put away, burying last minute roses under mulch, etc etc etc).


I guess it snowed pretty good in the mountains again last night. Here's Mount Evans, which is the closest 14er to Denver (a "14er" is a mountain over 14,000ft).


Here's Long's Peak on the right. It's a nice 14er right outside of Estes Park & is featured on the Colorado quarter as our state symbol. Honestly, our symbol on the Quarter should have been an upside SUV. I've hiked this. It's not too bad of a hike.. there's a trail that goes right to the top. Plus the snowfront building on the Front Range.


And here's the snowfront coming in off the mountains.
