I give up. This board is too hard to understand.
In a weather related observation:
"AJ, Welcome to the Frozen Tundra."
"Location: God's Waiting Room, FL"
Yeah. "Hey, welcome AJ, to the blistering cold of America's North Woods. I won't be there personnally to welcome you as I will be in Florida, but welcome..."
He can visit me personally when he takes a vacation down here... until then he can freeze his ass off... I learned my lesson. :tongue2:

It's in the mid-50s, overcast, and a light rain is falling. For my tastes, this is about as perfect as it gets!

Hey FCB,

Colorado blizzard jump-starts ski season
By DAN ELLIOTT, Associated Press WriterFri Oct 27, 9:21 AM ET
The biggest October snowstorm to hit Colorado in several years has dumped more than 2 feet here, grounding flights, closing highways, knocking out electricity ? and jump-starting the ski season.
The storm began late Wednesday and turned highways wet and slushy across the state on Thursday. At one point, snow was falling at a rate of about 3 inches an hour in Denver. A 125-mile corridor from Colorado Springs to the New Mexico line was under a blizzard warning and poor conditions forced the state's main north-south route to close at the border.
Denver International Airport got 5 inches, and more than 110 flights were canceled. Some suburbs reported up to 10 inches of snow that fell at about 3 inches an hour before the storm moved east onto the Plains, where it caused more trouble.
A 150-mile stretch of Interstate 70 was closed for hours from Denver to Burlington, near the Kansas line, after falling temperatures turned slush to ice.
"There's an awful lot of trucks jackknifed in the median or across the road," said Dick Hormann, who was waiting out the delay at the Flying J Travel Plaza restaurant in Limon, about 70 miles southeast of Denver. "There's a lot of rigs across the road in both directions."
On the wide-open Plains, residents and emergency managers braced for blowing snow and wind up to 45 mph. Red Cross officials sent supplies to Byers, about 30 miles east of Denver, in case the weather stranded travelers along I-70.
The storm shut down dozens of schools, courthouses, voting centers and even chased office employees home early from a sheriff's office. Small towns in the mountains and foothills just west of Denver appeared to get the heaviest snowfall, with Evergreen reporting 25 inches and Conifer reporting 22 inches with 4-foot drifts. Two feet fell in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Up to 45,000 customers in Denver, Colorado Springs and Boulder lost electricity as snow-laden trees and branches gave way, taking down power lines.
At least one resort, Keystone, announced it would open Nov. 3, a week earlier than planned.
"This storm really put them over the top," said Molly Cuffe, a spokeswoman for the industry group Colorado Ski Country USA.
The storm also was welcome for water utilities and farmers, as the closely watched mountain snowpack ? which provides much of the state's water ? got an early boost.
"We've probably got a good three-week jump on the season," said Mike Gillespie of the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service, which tracks Colorado's mountain snow.
Large October snowstorms are common in Colorado, but this was the strongest in several years, National Weather Service spokesman Carl Burroughs said.
"We haven't had a real good storm like this in a while," he said. "It dumped a lot of snow pretty quick and then moved on."
Heather Richardson of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, flew into Denver at 8 a.m. during the height of the storm.
"Visibility was terrible. We kept looking, `Where's the runway? Where's the runway?' The landing was so smooth every one was telling the pilot he did a good job."
Her flight home, scheduled in the afternoon as the airport returned to normal, was on time.
Mike and Teri Omoumi of Nashville, Tenn., were returning home after a vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where Hurricane Paul missed them.
"We didn't even know it snowed," Teri Omoumi said. "We were on the beach, 85 degrees, this morning."
