Finally! Denver and the rest of the Front Range is done with all the snow and sub-zero temperatures - at least for now. It still might be a little nippy up at Horsetooth Reservoir, in the foothills above Fort Collins, as seen in the photograph above, but down here it will be close to 70 degrees for much of the week. Of course, the temperature is predicted to drop, and a little snow show up next weekend, but by then we will be solidly into March, and there is no way the temperature could drop below zero again, right? Right? And by the way, Horsetooth Reservoir has a number of recreational areas around its shores, which are well used by the people of Larimer County. But if you pull into the parking lots to access those areas, there is a seven-dollar fee, even in the winter. Is that a rip-off or what? After all, you can head to a national forest, park, and hike to a damn lake - a natural one - for free. And free, after all, is my, as well as many other's favorite price point. Time to wake up and deal with reality, Larimer County commissioners.
