Happy that the temps dropped some because the mid-60s in December just didn't feel right. It sure is cold now, though Burrrrrrrr.

if not tomorrow, maybe in 3 to 4 days, sidewalks and roads get cleared, all due to Colorado sunshine, in all the places I have lived, Colorado had the best weather and the best sunshine !

We have 24 hours to shovel our sidewalks and sometimes...if you drag your feet until the last hour, there's nothing left. Usually we do it right away though since our new yard is about the size of a postage stamp.

Boulder is awesome, I did some paint work up there back in the early 2000's.
