The unusual weather pattern continues. Last Sunday I was able to take my motorcycle out for the first time in 2017. Temperatures rose into the low and mid-40 degree range and most of the snow melted away. It was nice to get out on the bike – but – I knew the warmer weather would not last.<\/p>\n

Here’s a photo of the Roan Plateau taken during this ride:<\/p>\n

Roan Plateau, 1-15-2017<\/p><\/div>\n

True to form, we had another snow storm this past week. I woke up Friday, January 20th, to a new white world of winter.<\/p>\n

New snow, 1-20-17<\/p><\/div>\n

I had already cleaned the drive and sidewalks of 3 – 4 inches of snow \u00a0before I took this shot. More snow is in the forecast for the next few days but daytime temps will be slightly above freezing; the snow should melt off (mostly) during daylight hours. (It is snowing again as I compose this post.)<\/p>\n

You can tell the snow was heavy and wet by the way it stuck to the fence lines and tree branches.<\/p>\n

White World of Winter<\/p><\/div>\n

Commuting was not bad; the roads were wet\u00a0but not slippery. I have taken to keeping a jug of water in the car to clean the windows before we head home as the road spray really mucks them up during the inward-bound commute. Such is life in the winter!<\/p>\n

A new president has been sworn in; lets hope he governs better than he campaigned.<\/p>\n

Pam has identified a new home listing that may be of interest; the address is 145 N. Grand Mesa Drive<\/a> in Cedaredge. Although it is directly\u00a0on main street, the lot is about an acre and there are several\u00a0outbuildings that could be used as storage for my toys. The kitchen is a mess but the rest of the house looks “OK” although dated. (Green carpet?) I\u00a0will be contacting the realtor to arrange a visit. More on this as we continue our\u00a0house hunt.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n

Pam’s Two Cents Worth:<\/p>\n

Snow is romantic before Christmas, now it’s mainly a nuisance.<\/p>\n

The Cedaredge house is intriguing because of it’s potential history. \u00a0As is the case with most old houses, the integrity of the original structure has been lost with multiple “updates” and additions. \u00a0I mostly regret the loss of all that\u00a0lovely baseboard-and-door-surround woodwork. This particular address may have been [most recently] a real estate office. \u00a0But, plenty of outside storage for Fields.<\/p>\n

I personally think our future lies on the Front Range, but I’m itching to “house hunt” again.<\/p>\n

Happy Trails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
