Just in time for New Year's Eve, the temperatures here on the front range of Colorado dropped below zero, a reminder that we are living at 5,000 feet above sea level out here and cold weather sometimes happens. The temperature dropped to 5 below zero Fahrenheit, and the wind chill hit 20 below zero. I myself drove up to Fort Collins that afternoon and went with my sister to see Mary Poppins Returns (which we both liked), and I took the photograph above of the plaza in front of the movie theater, showing a properly winter scene. Of course, the front range has wild temperature swings, and today the temperature will be back in the 50s. What I do not understand, and never will, is why - when there is a 20 degree below zero wind chill - people here still wear shorts? Does living at such a high altitude all their lives make them go crazy? Obviously it does.
