    Outside My Window ~ 3.08.2015

    Credits for the Outside My Window composite can be found here. Outside my window…is an amazing day!  It is a far cry from last Sunday when it was cold, wet and still far too much snow was on the ground.  At 1:00 we are sitting at 64° with sunshine and blue skies.  Fabulous!  There is snow here and there ~ mostly piles of snow that hasn’t melted ~ and I was a little surprised to see there are still some patches of ice in shady areas, although I bet they are gone now.  Sunshine and warmer weather, oh how I have missed you.  I’m definitely looking forward to spring. I’m…

    Outside My Window ~ 2.02.14

    Outside my window…is blue skies and sunshine as well as moderate temperatures.  We are currently sitting at 55°F with an expected high of 60°F today.  Loving it! In the span of a week we had two snow storms with a total accumulation of approximately 9 inches.  The first snow came the evening of January 21st with a total accumulation of around 3 1/2 inches.  The temperature stayed cold enough for that snow to hang around until last Monday until we finally warmed up enough for all the snow to melt.  Last Tuesday another front and coastal storm moved in and this time we received a total accumulation of 5 1/2…

    Outside My Window ~ 1.27.2013

    Outside my window…we are currently at 30°F at 10:00 this evening.  The skies were mostly clear when Turbo and I took our walk around 7:30 but there were some light clouds.  The forecast calls for temperatures to hover in the low 30’s with increasing clouds.  We have been cold since last week and even got roughly 4 inches of snow this past Friday.  While most of it has melted, there are still some areas that have quite a bit of snow on the ground….and there is some icy patches here and there.  I expect it will all be gone tomorrow if we reach the forecast high of 49°F and the 30%…

    Snow

    We got about three inches this afternoon and evening. I always like the way the house looks after a snow fall…. ….and I am definitely in love with night photography. I want more of both.

  • Friday Flashback

    Friday Flashback

    With the extraordinary snow storm that hit Denver today, I couldn’t help but remember the Christmas Eve Blizzard of 1982.  The area I lived in received 34 inches of snow during that blizzard….these are some images after all was said and done…. I am standing next to  my car that was buried in the snow.  My boyfriend barely made it home that afternoon.  Many last minute shoppers ended up getting stuck in the malls overnight…cars were abandoned on the highways…and the airport was shut down. We lived on a rather steep hill… My balcony was on the end, second floor ~ right above that snow drift. The drift wasn’t actually…
