Not yesterday, but people will be back out tomorrow at the latest. 70 tomorrow, 80 on Monday.
We flew into Denver, no snow, 50's.

Rental car breaks down just before Loveland Pass Tunnel. Waiting for Hertz to bring us another car. Mary Anne is in extremums for # 1. Walks for squatting behind bush. Walks into ditch, not visible and sinks in snow up to her neck.

2 hours later Hertz shows up. Changing cars a ski pole tip shatters rear window of the new SUV car.
Luckily they had come with 2 cars, we took the sedan.

Yes, this is spring. I reacted because TJ is here celebrating a 3” storm.

I forget 3” is a lot in TJ’s world.
When I lived in Central NY, we had a huge dump one weekend: 89 inches over the weekend !

We thought that was a lot ! Till we heard Oswego on Lake Ontario getting 103 inches from the same storm.

I learned that game in Champaign at the old Illini Inn 4th street. I don't remember how to play iy off the top of my head. Probably all the mugs of warm Strohs.
I love that game. We have taught so many of our neighbors in south TX. Most people from up north already know.

I spend my summers in remote N. Minnesota, and we have a group that gets together for a cookout and cards (or dominoes) every 2-3 weeks. The group is most commonly 5 people (or more occasionally). One of the guys sold his place last fall so the core group is now down to 4, and they agreed we could try euchre this summer. I just have to relearn how to play it so I can show them. Need to get busy on that, within a month I'll be up there until October.

There is an app you can download to practice on your phone.

Those attendees at the progressive conference in Barcelona seem really engaged with what tampon Tim is saying (look at the people in the pictures behind him while he is speaking). Given all his graft and bad governorship I'm surprised Fox even reports on him.

So she ruined everyone’s graduation for her own personal agenda, lying to GWU. If I was her employer, I would fire her, too. She publicly damaged herself and thus the Firm’s reputation. Further, I would never be able to trust her. Disgustiing.

I’m sure you are the life of the party, LOL.

Time for you to quit moaning and take positive action.

Quit playing golf. Move to the Midwest which has had record setting precipitation. You are the problem.

You posted about a potential snowstorm at 10:40 last night.

I’m educating morons on water shortages. The same morons that celebrate 3.4” of snow.

You’re posting random weather updates around the world.

This is why I would be a pretty bad teacher. I don’t have the patience to deal with stupidity.

Yes, updates from around the world. Sierra Nevadas and KC getting great hits precip wise. Poor little Colorado in between missing out on the big stuff. Just like UConn improbably having 3s bounce in, just bad luck.

As I said, you whine and whine but do nothing. As if that pond should be used in a severe drought to grow grass for Rills pleasure. I know you will remain in Colorado bitching forever.

You are a true Man of Inaction!

Some people in this thread don’t care if this nutbag regime gets nukes. These extremists are the scum of the earth.

Delusional attack on Trump. Jeff and his bosom laughing buddy here will likely believe this is true.

I recall too. You were talking about Denver getting hundreds of inches of snow each year. I corrected you by pointing out that is the mountains.
I used Denver for the general locale for getting snow in Colo, not the specific zip codes.

Posters who live in other areas of the US may not be familiar with the usual snow totals at Steamboat, which although in Colo, is a couple of hundreds of miles northwest of Denver.

See some posts coming about your other bugaboos.

Weather or rain is not a necessary phenomenon for water collection in drought areas.

Self proclaimed University degree posters should have the necessary knowledge.

Water collection; 2 methods

1. MIT has developed a water collection system that produces clean drinkable water WITHOUT electricity or any daily power needs (Other than needed for it's material construction) and NO moving parts.

It has been tested in Death Valley, Cal and has worked to produce enough water for personal daily use.

They are now working to develop larger production/collection units.

Like the Fog Collection units placed in Morocco that now produce OVER 1,000,000 gallons of water daily !

2. Areas of Chad in access of 250,000 acres that were hard packed, dry dirt and dust, have been changed to green areas visible even from NASA satellite !

What's needed ? 1 million refugees each with a pick ax and shovel. Dig a swale, in a half circle, about 18 inches deep in prescribed direction. That's IT !

Water collection, dust to dirt, dormant microbes to grass/foliage/trees.

Population growth and water, electricity usage; Specifically Arizona.

In 1995, the University of Arizona started a study of how to lower grid electricity usage by structures, both large buildings AND single family housing, to allow for future growth !

The number 1 use of electricity was use of air conditioning. The answer wasn't more/better, more efficient A/C units !

It was air towers that moved normal air throughout the home using chimney-like size attached structures that allow air into and out the building. WITHOUT any power use required it would lower temps inside the structure to 75 F with outside temps at 115 F.

Populations saved.

See above about water.
