I don't know what the high temperature was in Denver yesterday (in the upper 60s at least), but I was able to go outside without a coat, and for me in the dead of winter, that is saying something. I took the above photograph as I was leaving work last night, showing downtown Denver under a perfectly clear sky. However, whenever it gets that warm here, it usually means a change in the weather is near. And yes, the weather forecasters are going into a frenzy, talking about a massive storm that will arrive here this very evening. It is what they call an "upslope," which means the storm comes from the south and moves in a counterclockwise circle, pushing against the mountains from east to west. These are the storms that give us the most snow. I think the weather geeks are predicting 6 to 12 feet, or something like that (they like to exaggerate). Of course, they are usually wrong, so why worry? Unless they are right.
