Mama - Nighttime temps are in low-to-mid 50s this week, probably in the 60s later on. T-shirt weather. Don't need a blanket in that kind of weather.
TMI, but I usually start off w/a sheet & nightgown & by dawn I've only got the nightgown (and a million cats).
Chances of the fires getting this close to town? None. There's a number of cities between Fort Collins & Denver, and then I'm on the far far far SE corner of the metro so it'd have to chew through 30 cities (there's.. 32? cities in our metro) to get to me. I just feel horrible for those poor people who are losing their homes left & right. The north fire was natural (lightning), but dunno yet on the southern fire. The northern fire (High Park fire

"There are 117 engines on the scene and 17 helicopters, including five Type 1, three Type 2, seven Type 3, three Blackhawks and five heavy air tankers are battling the blaze.
Larimer County officials say 189 homes burned, making it the "most destructive fire" in Colorado history. The total cost to fight the fire is estimated to be $14.7 million. In comparison, the September 2010 Four Mile Canyon Fire burned more than 6,300 acres and destroyed a total of 169 homes. The 2002 Hayman Fire destroyed 133 homes and burned 138,000 acres of forest."
The largest fire in Colorado history, the Hayman fire (2002) was a monster. It rained ash over the entire Denver metro for about a week.
