We’ve been enjoying a remarkable and glorious autumn here in Southwest Colorado, and I will admit that I’ve been daydreaming about a few clouds in that otherwise unblemished turquoise sky.
As the weather does in Colorado (everywhere, really), it has changed now, and Ol’ Man Winter is starting to howl out of the north. Parts of Colorado (the mountainous parts, which is not us in Disappointment Valley) have already seen snow. We did get some of those longed-for clouds, but they likely won’t bring us moisture here in our corner.
As for the wind, Mariah models her namesake well, don’t you think?? Watching a pair drink at a nearby pond her band had already been to and left, she looks just as glorious and wild as our wondrous weather.
Speaking of the sky, don’t forget your eclipse glasses if you’re watching the annular eclipse this morning. The “ring of fire” should be on full display at about 10:30 a.m. MDT over the Four Corners region.
