According to the National Weather Service, we’re in for a real storm:

… Late Winter Storm Affecting Southeast Colorado…

Starting To Take Shape This Evening Over Southeast Colorado. The Storm Will Bring Heavy Snow To The Southeast Mountains… And Parts Of The Southeast Plains Over The Next Few Days. Tonight And Tuesday… The Airmass Associated With This Storm Will Probably Keep Snow Levels At Or Above 6000 Feet. By Tuesday Night And Wednesday… Snow Levels Will Likely Drop Closer To 5000 Feet Or Possibly Even Lower. At This Time… Snowfall Should Become Much More Widespread Across The Lower Elevations… With Significant Accumulations Becoming More Widespread. The Low Pressure System That Is Bringing The Winter Storm To Colorado… Is Very Large… Very Moist… And Very Slow Moving. Due To The Prolonged Nature Of The Storm… Significant Storm Total Accumulations Will Be Likely.

Past experience is that a storm as heavily forecasted as this one is never lives up to the hype. It’s the weather that kind of sneaks up that leaves the longest impression. However, we need the snow and the rain and as much as nature wants to serve up.

I’ve turned on the ability to add comments. The process is quite simple — just click on the "Comments" at the end of the post and it should work. There’s some funky programming that translates your IP address into a domain name that may not work as planned. If so, then let me know and I’ll take that code out. It’ll be quite obvious if it doesn’t work!

It looks like we’ll be at war with Iraq in two day’s time. President Bush was on TV tonight to address the nation and gave Saddam Hussein two days to go into exile or we would make war. It doesn’t seem possible that Saddam has enough brains to leave the country. I certainly hope it’ll be quick. I don’t think our economy can withstand much more.
