No thank you.
I think it was 95 on Saturday that weekend. Still 80 somethng Sunday. Not going to miss those stupid swings. One morning, I think it was in August, forget which year, I scraped the ice off the car to go to work. By lunch it was 103 (granted, that was 2500 feet downhill, but still...)
Waves on little Horseshoe Lake in Loveland were 4' high on the Eastern shore. The chain holding my ski boat on a mooring snapped. We found the boat wedged onshore half full of mud. Got it fixed up and the prop shaft snapped pulling a skier through the course. Lost the prop but thankfully not the skier.
when it snows like that, we go around and use the butt end of shovels and try and periodically knock the snow from them. We still lost a few branches, but not as bad as it's been in the past.
